My grandmother's youngest brother, Henry. wasn't much older than my father. The two of them used to pal around together about the time my father was a senior in high school. They looked very much alike. Henry was either in college or just out. He encouraged my father to go to college as well. I think Henry was the only one of 12 brothers and sisters to go to college. My father was the only one of 10 brothers and sisters to go to college. Even if my father had met my mother somewhere else besides college, Henry's influence would have meant a lot to my whole life.
I'd like to spend a day with both of them or just listen in to the plans they talked about together.
