My Grandfather did not prefer telling numerous stories when I was a young child.
He was still suffering pretty severely from battlefield post-traumatic stress disorder plus had yet to get any of the psychiatric care that he pursued later in life.
He absolutely loathed the thought of inadvertently becoming vulnerable around other people. I don’t blame him either, because his innocence was forcefully ripped from his grasp plus he was thrust into a garish world full of pain, terror, plus torture. When he returned from the war, the first thing he did was look for work. I l gained later on that he did everything from newspaper deliveries to cooking in the family room at a fast food diner. After a few years of less than stable labor positions, our Grandfather decided to join the emerging world of indoor heating plus cooling. While the A/C was invented during the first decade of the twentieth century, it wasn’t nearly as widely adopted 50 years ago as it was this week. A lot of homes simply lacked a/c at that point, however much of the new development in this area was getting indoor Heating plus Air Conditioning for both heating plus cooling needs. Apparently he was so nice at what he did plus had so numerous cheerful buyers that he quietly walked away from his task plus managed to poach about 77% of his existing buyers to start his own business. I l gained that our Grandfather owned his Heating plus Air Conditioning business for 10 years before he sold it plus went into real estate investment for the rest of his life.
