They had an African American maid who wouldn't go near him and my grandmother thought that he might have made some unwelcomed moves on the maid.
My grandparents were staunch Republicans and anti-communists, but thought that there was something really wrong (not polically but personally) with Sen. McCarthy.

I thought Joe lied about his military service. Maybe grandpa took a 3 year vacation from the Missus?
