The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.

I found this online last night, it is all I know about my Grand Parents.
My grandmother was originally from Sevastopol, Ukraine. My grandfather is from Austria. My Grandmother moved to Austria to escape the Russians during the revolution. She met my grandfather in Austria. They moved to Brazil to escape Hitler.
I was born in Brazil, Wolfgang was my father. We all moved to Canada in 1958.
1967 I became a Canadian Citizen. 1977 I started my Military service in the Canadian Navy..
