Thanks for the information. I believe that jives with everything I have seen so far. We used to visit Benjamin and Mattie Lou and couple of times each year, but I have no memory of tea cakes! I do remember one of his cows actually biting me on the shoulder, which scared me half to death. :-) And I remember their birds...parakeets, I think. My father has attended the Carroll/Hogan reunion. If he plans to go this year, I'll have to tag along. I will be diving back in to research after the holidays. Thanks for the reply, and I hope you hand yours have a wonderful holiday season.
