My grandfather was born in 1942. He grew up in a small village in the north of England. When he was sixteen years old he fell in love with his best friend's sister, Dorothy. They got married when they were eighteen and they had a baby (my dad!) in 1966. My grandfather worked as a bus driver for twenty years and then, in 1982, when he was forty years old, he went to university and studied history! He got a job as a history teacher in 1986. He retired when he was 65 years old, in 2007.
