The picture above is a picture of Alexa's grandparents, Joanie and Harry. Besides the lady from my job named Jane, who I was not able to get a picture of sadly, they were the first people I reached out to when I first started working on my Capstone project. They are truly sweet and extremely knowledgeable.

The gentleman in this picture is Michael's grandfather Dominic, and he taught me that for a long time, New York had the largest population in the U.S.
This is Michael's grandmother Ann-Marie, and she's easily one of the sweetest elderly women I've met in my entire life. She doesn't constantly want to talk about herself either, she genuinely cares about what's going on in your life and she uses her past life experiences to give advice on whatever situation you address her with.
This is a picture of Luz, Jacob's grandmother. The first thing I thought when he showed me this picture is "Absolutely no way she's 80 years old!" When me and Luz talked, we talked about things she really enjoyed doing growing up, and it turns out her favorite sport is baseball, she watches it still to date. One thing I want to do is try to bring her to a baseball game at the Yardgoats stadium, as she hasn't been there yet and really wants to go.
This is Jose, Jacob's grandfather and Luz's husband. Easily one of the most intelligent men I've ever spoken to, as he speaks 6 languages fluently, and he's also HUGE on politics. He's so big on politics in fact, when I asked him to tell me about something from when he was younger, he told me about the 600 law that was passed in Puerto Rico in 1951.
