The Persistence of Memory

We are watching "On Golden Pond," and for some reason I flashed on a memory of a story Dad used to tell, but I need help with the details. Was it Dad's grandfather who was blind and used to smack the kids with his cane? If you know "On Golden Pond" you will understand why I thought of a crotchety old grandfather. And if that was Dad's grandfather, I assume it was Pop's father...yes?

Yes, that is how I remember it. Dad said that even though he was blind he was always able to give the kids a good swat when they tried to sneak by him. He also used to walk to Wilkes-Barre to work daily.
