My mother's father had his own printing shop and was a typesetter by trade. He used to have rows and rows of drawers of individual letters of different sizes and styles made of lead that he'd have to put together in sentences, paragraphs, stories, and pages and mount into a cast iron frame and mount that into a huge printing press...and away he went.

As a kid I'd go out into his shop with him and tinker around in those drawers, getting letters and stuff out of place, but he was pretty good natured about it. The stuff...smithsoneon material these days.

She was a little girl with button up shoes back then. Don't know about my father's father. He and my father's brothers didn't survive WWII in Poland.
