My maternal grandmother passed away last month at the age of 90 or 91 (there seems to be some disagreement over exactly how old she was). I'm pretty sure I got my knitting gene from her, since my paternal grandmother, who passed away years ago, thought that knitting was for old ladies (and she wasn't including herself in that group!). Va bene; she was a CPA, at a time when few women went to college, let alone got advanced degrees-- I probably got my math gene (very important for pattern writing) from her!
These photos show my maternal grandmother with my uncles; the first one was taken in the early 1950s and the second in 1960 or '61. Now I'll have to find a couple of photos of my other grandma....
