I think there were some unsavory happenings in my family--we NEVER found out the exact reason my great-grandfather came to the US. It will remain a deep, dark secret forever.<BR/><BR/>I also had a relative who was a hobo--although I don't believe he ever quit the life. Maybe he and your grandpa met each other way back when! :)cmkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17984250869194585666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18879154.post-81303418680922473502007-11-15T10:35:00.000-05:002007-11-15T10:35:00.000-05:00You are hilariously geeky.
