Okay. I know there’s a Tesla museum in Beograd. I’d love to visit it if I take a vacation in Southern Europe. That’s neat that your Grandfather was from the same town. Did he have any stories?

Only that people from that area were fierce fighters. He was born in a cabbage patch his mother was picking cabbage, delivered him and went on picking cabbage. He came to America with practically nothing and settled in Chicago. He fought in WWI. He was the only guy in his company not to die from the flu epidemic. A team of doctors examined him to try and figure out why and he told them it was because he ate garlic. He also was singled out when they were training to bayonet kill someone. The trainees were kind of limply attacking the dummy and when it was his turn he let out a scream and stabbed the heck out of it. After that the sergeant said everyone do it like Joe. He went on to help build the railroad and had some good stories there too. After that he worked until he retired in the steel mill in Chicago. Loved freedom, hated commies.
