My great grandmother gave the house, the contents, and the bank
account to my mother. GG had been a midwestern farmer that moved to
the city when they were to old to farm anymore. She had an awesome
gas stove/range in the basement that she used daily. It was a compact
cast iron beauty! I was in my early 20's and had no interest in it,
and neither did anyone else. I shouldn't need to finish the sad
story. <sigh>
