Some peoples' grandfathers like to talk about about what they did in the war, others tell fishing stories, or muse on their wild times when they were young. But when Chinta recently asked her Pop Pop to tell his favorite story, he touched her heart with his sincere, grateful and in-the-moment response.

When Harry Cooper was a very young man, his father signed enlistment papers so his son could join the Army and follow his dream. Ever since he'd heard the Hawaiian musicians playing on Atlantic City's Steel Pier, all Harry could think about was getting to the tropics. The Army sent him to Oahu, where he learned to play steel guitar, rescued a drowning soldier, soaked up the sunshine and saw no combat. He came back with some favorite songs that he shared with his soon-to-be-bride, and all these years later, they still love to sing them together. Let's listen in as they harmonize.

Now, they say there's nothing new under the sun, but all the same, we're pretty sure our PopPop is the only 97-year-old man who got checked out of the retirement home to spend last Saturday tooling around his old downtown LA haunts in the company of a 94-year-old burlesque queen.

Grandma came along to keep him honest, but she gave him a moment to say his private goodbyes to Follies legend Betty "Ball of Fire" Rowland. That's just one of Grandma's little secrets for keeping a marriage hot for 73-going-on-74 years. Watch and learn, grasshopper.

On his way to a Mexican octopus feast in Boyle Heights, PopPpop was distracted by the sound of grunts and thumps coming from a nearby Shinto Church, which doubles as a martial arts studio.

PopPop is fascinated to discover a side of the neighborhood he didn't know existed.

Back in the 20th Century, a young man who wished to marry was required to ask his bride's father for her hand, and run a gauntlet of questions meant to prove if he was worthy. Could you pass a test like that?

Inspired by the wonderful Old Jews Telling Jokes website, we asked our PopPop to share his favorite bit of whimsy. He responded with a racy little gag involving a horny widow and a confused frog. We think it's almost as cute as he is. Enjoy!

This time on PopPop's Adventure Corner, we journey deep into darkest downtown Los Angeles, for a memory trip featuring Indian Joe the VD doctor, beautiful gals in taxi dance halls and our own PopPop's brief but memorable career as a salesman of Swedish delicacies.

There are few things PopPop loves as much as music, but 96-year-old hands can have trouble opening CDs cases.
