Grandpa Sanchez in the foreground, standing on his dock, with his sailboat in the background. (I am not certain who is sailing the boat with Georgann and me aboard--perhaps that's Grandma Sanchez.) He obviously loved sailing and loved that sailboat. He told me that he made his money a couple of ways: Buying and fixing up and flipping houses, and owning a grocery store. He said he helped increase his profit margin with the store by not carrying insurance, not something he could have gotten away with in today's litigeous society. He and Grandma were able to retire early and probably did not work, except for Grandpa flipping houses from time to time, from the mid-40's on.
