"During Grandparents Day, she stood up and showed my entire 4th grade class how to make a pen work again by heating it up with a lighter. ( Actual demonstration took place). I wish my kids could have met her."  George

"When I was in 5th I went to sing Christmas carols at Southside and Gram gave me the nudie pens to give to the old folks. Remember those...you turn the pens upside down and you either got....T + A or shlong. Huh. huh huh. I said shlong! Man! Gram ruled! I’ll never forget how the patients reacted. They LOVED it. That would NEVER happen nowadays. There’d probably be some sort of investigation. That was probably the last jollies any of those folks had." Lisa

(In response to above post) "To set the record straight, she did a one time sale thing from a porny kind of store or something that was going out of business. She had all sort of crazy lingerie and strawberry body oil and wanted ME to sell it where I worked at the time! Of course she did not continue in this line of business (there was most likely not enough money in it!)"  Deb

"On St. Patties night having Gram show a busy bar how to play the drinking game where you put the napkin on the rim of glass and take a cigarette and take turns burning holes until the napkin falls off (and into glass all ashy) and the last person to burn the napkin drinks the beer. What was she 70 then? That entire trip was one of the best things I ever did with her. We surprised Chris! Awesome." Lisa

"...the time she stood in a bra in the store in Huntington - the one with the picture windows facing the street and thought I was such a prude for being embarrassed that she was trying on blouses in a bra rather than go into the dressing room - of course, I was the one with hang-ups!" Deb

"...the time we had a real live car chase from Bayport to Bayshore - I was upset and mad at her and ran out of the house and into my car - I went zooming away - she got in her car and followed me taking quick turns at 40-miles an hour trying to lose her - but she continued on my tail for 15 miles to Bayshore to Donna’s house - and proudly she exclaimed when we got there "You will never lose ME honey!" I felt so loved!" Deb

"Remember her store in Huntington?  Well I was waiting there for awhile because she was late ALOT and I decided to check the porny(as Deb calls it) store out.  So I’m looking around and all of a sudden I hear "Gene, Gene, are u in here?" I proceed to duck behind a rack of porny movies and she doesn’t stop. So I go "I’m over here" and walked out of the porny store w/my mom...never to return again." Gene

(in reference to the guy "Bill" who was "wooing" her) "if i remember right- I was a young, but the flirty card she sent him for his birthday said something like "come on baby light my fire". Kate
