My Grandparents and the Legacy They Leave Behind

Grandpa Bob and Grandma Carolyn with a whole crew
of family over at their house for a family dinner
I've always cherished the time I spent with my Grandparents.  On my Dad's side, My Grandpa Bob is my last living Grandparent.  My Grandpa Elton on my mother's side passed some years ago. My two Grandmothers both passed this last year.  Each of them made an incredibly powerful impressions on me throughout my life.  They're just one of the reasons Alaska is such a special place for me.  Even as an adult, I feel like a child every time I revisit the memories of my youth.
