I have a dim memory that
- the case has arisen
- the Grandfather Clause refers to "immediate family" or some such
- as a result, the Grandfather Clause cannot be used by Grandfathers
or Grandmothers or Grandchildren
But I could easily be wrong. If such a question arise, it would need
to be researched.
