My Grandfather worked for and retired from the Southern Pacific Railroad.
After my Grandmother Esther Eileen passed, he moved from San Antonio to Pleasanton and met and married a wonderful woman by the name of Lona. I was only a year old when Grandma Esther Eileen passed so Lona was more like my Grandma, but I was never allowed to call her that. My mother was very insistant that we only call her by her name, Lona.
I would usually go a spend a week with them in the summer in Pleasanton and at a very early age, my Grandfather had me shooting squirrels so he could make squirrel stew (one of his favorite dishes). He also kept a huge garden on the lot in the back of his house that we would all tend to for the entire week.
My Grandpa was a very gruff sort but, we all knew that he loved us very much, even if he had a hard time showing it.
