I always enjoy the stories when he served in Pearl Harbor.

Always wanted to lament on this topic, and here's my chance. My maternal grandfather (1896-1972) was from a wealthy (until Oct. 29, 1929) Philadelphia family, i.e able to afford better than Piedmont and Sweet Cap. So in the 1909-1911 years he was at the age of both smoking and candy buying. He died when I was 12, and I never had interest or talked to him about cards. But, it just blows my mind to think of the cards that passed through his hands.
