Since my grandfather was a commercial fisherman and fished for tuna, he was gone from home a lot. His boat was the Edla A. (named after his mother) and later renamed the Mary Jane (after my oldest sister). The boat's name was changed as the original name was hard to understand over the radio.
Whenever Grandpa came back in to port in Eureka, he always seemed to bring some sort of "treat" for the family: cases of canned albacore tuna and these big tins of raspberry hard candies with soft centers are two things I distinctly remember and, of course, a visit from him. He was always very thoughtful sending money for birthdays and Christmas so we could buy those "extras" that our parents didn't have the money for.
