Grandchildren (for those not in a position to know)

My header says, "Grandfather of an increasing number." The number is up to 14 so far. By today's standards that seems like quite a few, but my parents have 22 grandchildren, and I was one of 32. Numbers going down as time goes by.

I actually know a man in Georgia whose father was one of 45 grandchildren, from three men, all of whom lived within a three-mile radius.
