I have known a few vets of WWII ..my grandad one...and they don't mind telling stories...in fact, i'm sure he'd like it that you were showing interest...I feel sometimes they might think we younger ones forget..~heather  |

Sounds like it would be a very intersting topic, and who better to tell it than one who has some knowledge and experience. Perhaps you could try a subtle approach, like what is his favorite meal or dessert? After sitting down to enjoy such a meal, maybe you or your Aunt could bring the subject up to him. "Say you know what would be neat, what happened on such an such a day, or I bet you have some interesting stories about ....." Hope this helps.   |

I wish I had a grandparent that I could talk to about the good old days.I can remember when I was young my grandma us to tell us things about her childhood..I loved it!Oh please do ask your grandfather the questions.One day you can pass it on down to your children.It would truly be a treasure to you.You could simply tell your grandfather that it is apart of history about himself that you would like to be able to pass on for those that don't get to know him.  |

I get intimidated easily by asking family member questions,so I know how this can be.But,I really think that you should know about your grandfather and ash him questions and find out what life was like for him growing up.Tape Record him and listen to what he says.Maybe your mom can be there with you,when you talk to him,so it will make you feel more comfortable.  |

He's your grandfather not a lion!!!! I know how you feel cuz my granddaddy used to seem the same way to me, and still does to some people in our family. But he's not all that bad, give it a shot, you might find out some really interesting things about him and your family history in general. Plus you all might be able to connect. Which is always good. Just think, wouldn't you like to say you really got to know him, instead of "oh I never really talked to him cuz I was scared"? Think about it. Old people have great stories. I love hearing my grandparents tell theirs. SPEEDRACER  |
