        The life of

    my grandparents

My grandparents were both born in Ottawa KS. 

Donna Mundy aka Grandma was born in 

1945 and my Grandpa aka Rick Mundy was 

born in 1948.  

This is my 

grandma with her 

dad and siblings as 

a baby.

My grandpa 

had his first job 

at 16 he went 

and did 

construction 

with his cousin. 

My grandma 

was 15 when 

she got her 

first job as a 

waitress.

My Grandpa was in 

the Vietnam war he 

served for 2 years 

but was in boot 

camp for 4. He was 

happy to be able to 

serve for his 

country

I asked what was 

the best year of 

your life and my 

grandpa told me 

1969 because that 

was th first year 

that he had ever 

been to wood stock 

and it was a great 

time he said that he 

wouldn't elaborate 

My grandma told 

me that she has 

had many good 

years in her life 

and it was to 

complicated to 

chose one year 

that was the best 

she said maybe 

the year she was 

born.

My grandparents both 

said that they had 

sneaked out when they 

were younger my 

grandpa got caught by 

his principle one time 

and he ended up 

fallowing him home. 

Grandma told me that 

she ran away one time 

but she thinks it was 

only for 3 hours.

I asked if you could bring something back from 

your past what would it be my grandma said he 

mother, she wishes she could have spent more 

time with her than she did she misses her. My 

grandpa said he would bring back his cousin 

that was his best friend who passed away while 

they were in Vietnam.

My grandpa told me a 

moment he wishes 

that he could relive is 

spending time with 

his mother, she was a 

sweet woman he said. 

My grandma wishes 

she could relive 

playing on the farm 

as a child with her 

sisters.

Their advice to teenagers is to study hard pick a 

degree that you will enjoy, life has alot of ups and 

downs but there is nothing else like it. My grandpa 

would also like to see everyone do 2 years of 

military service not during war.

I asked what was 

there biggest 

regret is, and 

they told me 

making stupid 

choices when 

they were 

younger and not 

listening to there 

parents. Having a 

low self esteem 

making life 

harder.

My grandpa said his proudest moment was 

graduating boot camp and also having kids, but 

my grandma said hers was starting to have grand 

kids.

    (especially one, me)

I asked my grandparents who 

played the most significant 

role in your life, and my 

grandma told me a teacher 

that she had in high school. 

She helped her get through 

school and gave her a present 

once, but also her mom, and 

her grandma she had patients 

and also taught her alot of life 

values. My grandpa said it was 

his mom, she always looked at 

the bright side of things and 

seemed so happy when you 

knew it was hard for her.

My grandparents 

met when my 

grandpa got out of 

the service he 

came into a bar 

my grandma 

worked at then 

they later started 

dating they dated 

for 4 years and 

then got married 

they have been 

married for 41 

years this year.
