Me and Grandma Wegner

This picture was taekn before Grandma got really sick. She was my last surviving grandparent. At least she lived long enough to see all of her grandchildren graduate, if not get married. Grandma was apparently quite the hellraiser in her day, pulling such stunts as painting a car pink with purple polka-dots (hot pink was Grandma's favorite color) or conniving well-meaning folks to tow her (perfectly operational) car to the next service station several times when she and her friends wanted to go to the beach in Bay City.
