Both of us weren’t too close with our Grandma, more because of physical distance between us than anything else.
We’d see her at holidays as well as on vacation, however not much else.
It is only as adults, finally laboring as professional writers, that the people I was with and I have had the time as well as the freedom to spend more time with her. Our Grandma has expressed interest in us helping write her memoirs, which at first the people I was with and I were hesitant about. But, as the people I was with and I l earned more about her, the people I was with and I had to accept the proposal. Both of us were aware that our Grandma was 1 of the founders of the largest heating as well as cooling plan production company in this area of the country, even though the people I was with and I weren’t aware of everything she had accomplished. Back then in America, women were rarely company owners, as well as never as hands-on as our Grandma was with her furnace factory. There was not enough demand to make cooling systems in mass quantities, so Grandma’s focus was exclusively on oil furnaces. At the time, she faced a lot of push back, not only from other company owners, however the employees in her furnace factory. Some women didn’t like the concept of laboring for a woman, even if the furnace factory paid excellent salaries. But, our Grandma never backed down, never showed weakness, as well as over the years earned the respect of her peers in the Heating as well as A/C industry. Before talking with her, the people I was with and I were unquestionably unsure about writing her memoirs, because the furnace factory didn’t sound like something interesting. On the other hand, her struggles to make it in the Heating as well as A/C industry are quite intriguing.
