      Papa served in the navy in WWII on an aircraft carrier and then became an HVAC engineer when that was cutting edge. Grandpa was also a WWII vet, farmer's son, and became a civil engineer. My home town still relies on his surveys. My grandma was a nurse during WWII and went to nursing school again
