Our special guest, my Dad and Sally are back for part 2.  Dad tells us how My Great Grandpa lived to be 104 and shares with us how his life as a rancher and parter thrower (now I know why I did what I did in College) kept him going all those years.  Plus more wisdom about grandparents as we continue to explore grandparenting from the 1940's to today.
