Back in October we went to a birthday party for my Grandfather.  We were all sitting around the table after an excellent meal enjoying conversation.  Several of the attendees got up to go out and see some of my dad's horses, while Erica and I stayed in to visit with my grandparents.  We got started talking about when they first got married.  As we were having the conversation I realized that I had my camcorder and was missing a great opportunity to catch some of that oral history of our family.  I pulled my camera out and was able to capture the rest of the conversation.

The conversation started with a discussion of how my grandparents were married just days before my grandfather shipped out for military service during WW2.  Grandpa went to war late, and arrived in Europe just as hostilities were ending.  When they had come back they were staying in a relatives home, and needed to move out quickly as the relatives were moving as well.

We pick up with my Grandmother discussing their first home.
