[U S Army EOD]

My grandmother who would be the same generation also made it to 103. The earliest memories of her childhood were relatives leaving home to fight in the war, The Spanish American war. Both of our grandmothers were advanced in years when the Titanic sunk.

We had one or two people at North Georgia when I was there who were told by the judge, "You seem to be a bright young man, I will give you your choice, go to college at NGC or go to jail".

As far as the true male influence at the Citadel, we at North Georgia College would always question that.

As far and brains and getting in EOD, I had and I am sure your father had a few of, "What am I doing here", thoughts. :}

Gram was born in 1890, so she would have been 24 when the Titanic sank. She married that year, on March 14, her birthday. Her great-uncle Henry (her mother Nannie's uncle) was with Dewey at Manila Bay. She was from Eufaula, AL, there must have been something in the water down there, her mom lived to be 97 and her sister lived to be 94.
