My maternal grandfather passed away when I was twelve, so I have a hard time remembering many of his stories. One that sticks however, when he was in grade school they had ink wells on the desks, the girl who sat in front on him would tease him so grandpa took her pony tail one day and dipped it in his ink well.....fast forward 70 years, my younger was on the school bus and the little girl in front of him was giving him fits, so he took his safety sicssors and gave her a haircut.
Back in the 50's some of the farm boys would drive the rural bus routes, Grandpa drove his junior and senior years I believe, Grandma was on his bus route and gave him a lot trouble on the bus. He asked the principal how to handle her, the principal told him to kick her off the bus. About half way home that night grandma got kicked off the bus. Grandma never gave him anymore trouble, on the bus at least.
From my surrogate grandparents who I farmed with; Grandpa was on the mezzanine of the gym his sophomore year in high school, he saw a girl below on the gym and knew right then and there he would marry her. Grandma was a farm girl, and grandpa grew up in town, so that day in the high school in town was the first time they met. It took him 10 years and a trip to Korea to convince her that he was worthy of her hand. I think about the only one I ever met as stubborn as Grandpa was Grandma.
From a friends grandma, her mom and dad worked off the farm, in the summer when the folks were gone she and her friends would pile on the Ferguson and take it 4 miles to the river to fish. All worked out well until one day she blew a tire on the Ferguson, that was the end of their tractor rides to the river.
