My grandpa was too young for WWI but lied about his age joining Merchant Marines. Then returned trying to go to college but run out of town by Klan. He became prosecutor. My other grandad, joined IU’s ROTC to skip some of WWII but shipped to Europe luckily staying in Scotland. Later became a judge.

Personal news update: I'm delighted to announce that as of today, I am an actual Bluesky employee! I'll be working to welcome indie media and local govt to Bsky—and supporting those already here.
