In these days of calling parents and grandparents by their first names, this note that accompanied a gift to my father and his brothers harks back to an earlier time. I would guess it was written in the mid-1920s. The Bresslers are the boys’ grandparents (and probably included their daughter, Dorothy). No warm and fuzzy Grandma and Grandpa here, just ‘The Bresslers.’ My father did refer to them as Grandma and Grandpa.
