The last year of our grandfather's life, he told a story about how he was going with a Lily Mae Lovstedt and they had planned on moving to California. One night he met our grandma in the local bar, she became pregnant, and back in those days you married if that situation happened. They went on to live a long, loving life together with kids, grand-kids, and great-grandkids. After our grandfather's death, we found this address book with Lily's name in it.
