Favorite grandparent memory:
"When I was younger, my siblings, cousins and I used to have sleepovers at our Grandma Sylvia and Grandpa Joe's house. I think about that all the time - the 50's-style bed we used to sleep in at their house is in my house now!"
Clare Davis | Account Director
Favorite grandparent memory:
"In college, my grandmother sent me $2.00 every week that she said was to be used for a 'hamburger, not cigarettes or beer.'"
Gary Drevitch | Editor-in-Chief
Advice he'd give his future grandkids:
"Spend less time talking back to your moms and dads. Years from now, you will feel bad about it."
Jennifer Fragale | Director, Social Media and Benefits Club
Favorite grandparent memory:
"When my brother and I were young kids, our Italian grandmother always used to say rather forcefully, 'Capisci?' (pronounced 'capeesh'). We had no idea what it meant, but we’d just answer back meekly, 'Capisci.' I now know it means 'understand?' and our response was appropriate."
Deborah Long | VP, Business Development
Best advice from a grandparent:
"Books are your friends! They can take you places you couldn’t get to any other way and introduce you to people you couldn’t otherwise meet, so treat them with respect!"
Kate Luna | Web Analytics Manager
Best advice from a grandparent:
"Whenever someone new enters your life, greet them as warmly as you would an old friend."
Matthew Schwartz | VP, Administration
Favorite grandparent memory:
"If only I had a nickel for every time my grandmother asked me to fix the VCR!"
Kristen Swensson Sturt | Associate Editor
Best advice from a grandparent:
"You learn something new every day. Also, 'Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer' is a terrible song."
