No, sounds pretty funny though. I had to look it up.

Gramps was a colorful character for sure. I've got some of his Michigan copper. He moved to southern California in the '30s and moved to Grass Valley in '57 because LA was getting too crazy for him. He had a gold claim at Malakoff diggings that was converted to a state park in the '70s. They almost had to run him off at gunpoint. He was old school stubborn, fer sure.
He lived until he was 95. So if you all are waiting for me to die off, it might take a while...
