winning a tv by misterarnie
More pictures from Grandpa's funeral.

Growing up I would always hear references to the fact that my grandparents had the first TV in their small town. Or maybe it was the first color TV. I never really thought about how or why they had that TV, but, of course, it would have been well beyond their means.

When I visited Grandpa Paul the last time, back in May, one of the stories he told was about going on a trip with Dottie and ending up on a gameshow, where they won the TV.

Grandpa Paul: When we got home, everyone had heard about it. Some of the neighbors had already set up extra chairs in our living room.

I mentioned last week that I wasn't sure if Grandpa had ever been to Chicago, but looking at this picture, Chicago must have been where they won the TV.
