Personal recollections(JMP)- Grandfather started to go blind when I was very young due to ret inal damage probably caused by the x-ray treatment he was given for acne in his youth. Fond m emories of going to the ice cream parlor in Seattle, Wash. for "secrets";that is, for mint ch ocolate chip ice cream cone that I wasn't supposed to tell mom about. He was a Beatles fan lo ng before I was and listned to them on the local radio station when we visited on our move Ea st in 1965 at the Torrance, California apartment. By that time he was totally blind but still was able to take me on walks around his neighborhood and point out landmarks and pe ople that he knew only from conversation and description. He was a graduate from Cornell University with a B.S. in chemistry but went to work in the ba nk in Williamsville from which he retired as a V.P. and head cashier of the Marine bank in 19 45 when they moved to California from NY. Grandfather was an avid golfer in his younger day s and spent a good deal of his time with his buddy Lionel Callaway (his father developed th e Callaway handicap system for golf),who later retired to Pinehurst, NC. He was the last Grov e owner of the 'big' house in Williamsville (Main and Forest). He is buried in the family plo t in the Williamsville Cemetery along with Lafayette and Charles C. Grove. The primary stor y about the big house is the one year where the tradition of not seeing the Christmas tree un til Christmas AM in the parlor ended with the tree falling over destroying a substantial numb er of the antique family heirloom ornaments.
