Also got the fiery Italian temper and tendency to be kind of loud (even in normal conversation) from that side. To us -- we're not loud -- but I've received strange looks and comments like, "Okay, calm down" from 'Outsiders' ;-) >From Dad's side probably the goofy sense of humor, like to make funny voices and things like that and he did that when we were kids. Bad eyesight from mom's side. Dark hair from both sides. Long legs and thin build from Dad's side. Mom gave me some pants of my Dad's when I was a teenager. He had worn them when he was in his 20s. I'm pretty sure (after seeing photos) that one of my sisters is big boned because some of the Lewis women were. Also along the same lines is an old photo of my gggg-grandfather. A spitting image of one of my brothers and everybody (except him of course) says so when they see the photo. Barry Jernigan
