Two of the few things I know about my fathers paternal grandfather:
- His leg was amputated at the knee, and as a result he couldn't do a lot of manual work. His wife held down a job and was the primary income source for their household long before that was commonplace because it was the only option.
- He had a penchant for building improvised instruments from whatever was laying around the house, and he spent a lot of time just kind of noodling around.
People are people.
