Nancy, We are talking the real Ernie - and what a sweet, loving person he was! We have read about everything we can find on him, plus all the books he wrote. We have been discussing the personality traits of the Piles/Pyles and how, thru the generations, the traits have seemed to stay so strong. I can only go back three generations that I have know personally; my husband, Don, his mother, Bea, and his grandfather, Given Elwood, and they all three were/are gentle, peace loving, and oh, so honest people. I have a picture we took off a website, but we don't have an honest-to-goodness photo of the gravesite. Lucky you to have been there. Keep on trying, I'm sure you will find your connection. Could I please send you a check to cover the cost of copying and mailing a photo to us?
