My mother always spoke of her parents as Mama and Papa.
One thing that stands out in my memory of grandpa Crotty was when he gave me a quarter, and asked me to run down to the store and buy him a pack of Pall Mall cigarettes.
A thing that I remember about grandma was when she swept the sidewalk - she would swing the broom back and forth, and walk slowly along. I must have thought this was a good method, as I have always remembered it.

I remember granpa Crotty rolling his cigaretts with tobacco & the the small cigarett papers. It always amazed me that he could make such a perfect cigarett. That must have been before he smoked Pall Mall cigarettes.
What I rember most about grandma Crotty was her potato salad. As a child I thought it was the best. It must have been, for me to remember it for all these year.
