When we look at our grandparents, it's easy to forget that the old geezers were once young and vibrant like us. In fact, they may have even been cooler. Let's celebrate the earliest of their many years by uploading photos from our grandparents' glory days.

    He did survive, thankfully! They had 3 children, 5 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren. They were married 73 years and they both passed in 2014. He was 94, she was 89.
