My paternal grandfather was an equipment operator. He did a variety of stuff, mostly highway construction I think. He died before I was born. My grandmother on that side worked for the post office.
On my mother's side, my grandfather was a farmer/rancher. He was a pretty interesting guy, he had an agricultural engineering degree and loved to travel. He was also a professional musician and played piano gigs into his early 90s. My grandmother on that side was a teacher, until she got married in her 30s. Then she had kids and quit. She was quite into politics, and was a county Reeve for many years, as well as being a provincial party organizer. Many of my relatives on that side are in politics as a result.
