I say trade him in for a new one. One that knows about the Tizzzydale! Oy!
I worked with the advisor of my MA advisor when I was in grad school. Wonderful people, both of them. I wonder at times what it would have been like to go for the whole enchilada.

Sadly, my academic grandfather has passed away (a peril of working with a senior prof.) But I'm a multiple AG myself, working on GGF.

By which I mean my PhD Advisor's PhD Advisor. He was younger than I expected.
