That's a home run, brother. Congrats all the way around.

My grandfather is a WWII vet as well. Up until he was 90 a few years ago he would drive himself every winter from NE down here to Florida. They are the real deal.

Thank you so much. It truly is a blessing to be able to spend the day with 3 generations of Frechette fathers and to be able to have my niece there as the 4th generation is awesome too.

No doubt, definitely the real deal. They are called The Greatest Generation for a reason. My grandparents did the drive from MA to FL every winter as well. They would wait until the day after Christmas to leave so they could spend the holiday with the family and come back April 1st. They stopped going about 8 years ago when my grandmother started to "age" at 85 years old, hahahaha. Memere passed 6 years ago this month, but Pepere is still pretty solid. He actually just stopped driving 3 years ago.
