My grandfather was a first cousin to George Bernard Shaw. He liked to travel and grew up in Boston and immigrated to Canada. He delivered mail by dog sled during the Yukon gold rush and worked on the Panama Canal construction as a boilermaker. Oh yeah he was also one of the founders of the CCF (NDP) and ran for mayor of Vancouver under their ticket a few times.

My other grandfather also went to the gold rush and was a card player and singer, piano player.
I haven't distinguished myself for anything but I'm enjoying this life. Well I did help build many of the buildings in downtown Calgary and other projects across western Canada.
