Aunt Dorothy was quite a character. She was always fun and interesting to talk to. Sometimes she told me things about family members that I really wish I didn't know. <br /> <br />Your mother was special to me. Although she and Daddy were 1st cousins, she was much closer in age to me( 5 years older.) Aunt Dorothy and my grandmother were very close and would visit a lot. I was with Grandmother a lot, and therefore around Dinah a lot when we ere younger.<br /> <br />I may have some pictures of Uncle Victor with Uncle Paul. Uncle Paul did not have children, so there is really no one to contact about him, other than what I know. Uncle Homer had 3 children. He divorced before I was born, and I do not know his children's names. They did live in Albany, maybe still do. Uncle Frank has children in Headland. You may know them. Aunt Ruby has grandchildren here in Shorterville and a daughter-in law, Bobbie Phillips. There were 3 little boys that did not survive childhood. They are buried in the Shorterville cemetery.<br /> <br />I gave your mother some pictures of her grandparents which you probably have or have seen. I have a newspaper article on Daddy's military service that I would be glad to share with you.<br /><br />Maybe you can come up sometime and we will go through what I have. I would love to talk with you. I have always been interested in the Grace geneology, but haven't been able to go beyond Hardy Grace. I would really be interested in the Poindexters. You know that Granddaddy Grace and Grandmother Grace were 1st cousins. - Elaine Hayes KennedyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610556516641268883.post-62917288927664870342008-04-13T03:49:00.000-04:002008-04-13T03:49:00.000-04:00funny. i do remember a time when i threw rocks at...funny. i do remember a time when i threw rocks at a car that was passing our house on solomon rd. a rock hit the car and the car stopped. victor spanked me and told me never to do it again. considering the fact i was probably just four, that spanking was good enough for the driver of the car and for me. they drove off.Major Allen Espyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10324254733159642997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610556516641268883.post-58329486160497259822008-04-13T00:05:00.000-04:002008-04-13T00:05:00.000-04:00thanks! great pics. on one occassion at home, gran...thanks! great pics. on one occassion at home, granddad victor made me back into and break a window pane at home while he was playfully acting as if he was going belt me. he got me off the hook for getting into trouble with mom and replaced the pane the next day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610556516641268883.post-87166318251257434512008-04-12T20:34:00.000-04:002008-04-12T20:34:00.000-04:00Apparently his brothers all had nice hair too.

It kind of blew apart the myth that hair loss comes from the mother's side. taanks! one reason lost more and at a younger age had to do with your gradfathers lineage having the hair loss gene. i've always wondered about your dad???? Carl was pretty bald too, right? hard to understand which genes get passed down!Major Allen Espyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10324254733159642997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610556516641268883.post-90255189142243067572008-04-12T09:45:00.000-04:002008-04-12T09:45:00.000-04:00never realised your middle name came from your gra...never realised your middle name came from your grandfather victor...he had a nice pelt of hair!Jeffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15876235244040330097noreply@blogger.com
