were neither of them saints, but they were certainly memorable.
Memorable things about Grandpa Lefty: His AOL user profile listed his interests as archery, darts and "lovin' the ladies".
The last time I had dinner with my Grandpa Chambers, I took him out for Chinese. He loved Chicken Chow Mein, but had somehow managed to go 84 years without ever eating a snowpea. He told me how he mostly lived on this stew he made with chicken stock and "twelve kinds of vegetables!", and I knew he had enough canned foods to last through a nuclear winter. When I asked him to try some, he liked them immediately, and said, "I like these snowflakes. Do they come in a can?"
I'm glad your grandfather was such a good man, and that you remember that about him.
