Well, here I am again. Does anyone know who Charlie's father was and how he fits into our Hollons? I am sure Carole agrees that it would have been so nice if the person who wrote the obit had included his parents names. But they didn't seem to do that much back then. Thanks for any help. Bess

Also, does anyone know who this Robert Rose's father was? He has to be related to our Roses. Would appreciate any help. Bess Rose Miller
