DYN ...Springfield was a slave state in 1860? ...Maggie beats Bart at tic-tac-toe? ...assuming Grampa was at least 18 when USA entered World War II at the end of 1941, Grampa's great-grandfather would have been younger than 65 when Grampa was born? ...there is a teddy bear in the attic, but it isn't Bobo? ...when Grampa mentions the beaches for D-Day, he leaves out Juno, which was where the Canadians landed? Ironic, for a story where Canada plays a significant role
