I do wish I'd asked them more questions, more about the times they went through as compared to today. One thing about parents and grandparents, they will always tell you their true feelings and observations (assuming a decent relationship with them and not a dis-functional environment.) The older one gets the more one realizes what wisdom parents and grandparents have/had to offer. A bit out of the scope of your original post, but boats, RV's, camping, hunting, vacations are all things families share that bring them closer together.Sounds like some great times. Tough to hear about your Dad and grandfather. I try to make an effort to spend time with my dad and son for those reasons. Wish boats were still affordable!
As for the clowns in the videos, you can always tell a new boat owner.
