One granddad was a bootlegger. My dad told me all about the sacks of sugar filling the garage from time to time.

My other granddad was a farmer but had to supplement the family income by working the granite quarries in Barre as a rigger.

My father was alive during prohibition in VT. He citied a number of now large companies that somehow had a large influx of capital after it was over to start business. It always made me laugh a little.
