My own grandfather, after getting a degree from Harvard Business School, left a job with Univac to run a country store in rural Pennsylvania. Then he rescued another store that has continuously served as the heart of my hometown on Cape Cod since the 1860s. GrampaDib was lauded for his bravery as a fighter pilot in WWII, but I've always thought his decision to walk away from the corporate world in favor of community was far braver.
Thank you, Meadow, for introducing us to the bravery of your grandfather, which I dare say, inspires your with the work you are doing with BlackBox!! These brave grandfathers live on, their stories changing the world even now.
Your post reminds me that each day brings the opportunity to start again. I wish you good things with your big move.
Love this! I think one of Pop-Pop’s tiny chairs should go to the Smithsonian along with your story! xo Susan
