I like to brag about my grandpa. Although, he is never really brought up at family get-togethers, his history is interesting to me. He was the mayor of a town called Richfield in North Carolina. He is the owner of the Carolinas Aviation Museum (http://www.carolinasaviation.org/), has an enormous house, including a two story garage. In his garage he has an old ambulance from a war (I know, it's funny I don't know which war) that is army green and has real bullet holes in it. He always drives it for the 4th of July parade. His house is just as much a museum as one you would go to and pay to see artifacts. He has autographs of pilots, including a picture of the Enola Gay (plane that dropped the first a-bomb on Japan) with the pilots signature. He has an old scuba diver helmet (the huge metal helmet). I loved history in high school, I think that is why I find my grandpa and his history so fascinating.
