Grana and Grandaddy: From Dirt Floors to Skyscrapers to Montpelier

The Montpelier Bridge Grandaddy’s Childhood and Early Adulthood 1934–1966 James “Jim” Avery Plummer, known as Grandaddy to me, was raised in Argentina during World War II. He moved there with his family from Delaware when he was 10 months of age for his father’s engineering job. They resided in Buenos Aires, and later in the country outside of the city. Grandaddy developed a particular viewpoint on American politics and foreign affairs as a result of living abroad for the first 10 years of his life. This would inevitably impact his activism efforts in the civil rights movement and, later, his dissent regarding the Vietnam War. Grandaddy remains a women’s rights activist to this day, a strong supporter of accessible abortions and a woman’s right to choose, and he attended the famous Women’s March in 2016. Some of these opinions made life extra interesting during the decades he resided in the profoundly conservative county of Piscataquis, Maine.
