Deb--Sorry about your Uncle Bill. He was, of course, my dad's second cousin and just 4 years younger. This generation is passing quickly, and we must be interviewing them and telling their stories. Thank goodness, my dad left his memoirs; I am going to start typing them, soon, and will illustrate them with photos of his life. They came up through the hard times, and their lives are a testimonial to their resilience and fortitude.
