The Book of Uncles |
Over the past nine hundred years or so, our grandchildren (currently ten of ’em, as of 2008) have had a startling variety of interesting uncles. Either by blood or by marriage, these men are part of our heritage. Hugely diverse: some famous, some obscure; mostly admirable, some debatable, and a couple just regrettable. But all interesting. A few who come immediately to mind, in order of their birth, and labeled with their relationship to me:* |
