After The Accident, Art (my grandfather) decided to relax and explore life beyond The Company. He dialed things back, spent more time in the greenhouses, and shifted to a part-time work schedule. But, as fate would have it, in the late 1960’s he also stacked up a series of heart attacks, each serving as a not-subtle reminder of his mortality.
