Its been awhile since I last added anything to the Blog, so I guess I had better get started again. But, before I do, awhile back, I received, quite unexpectedly a telephone call from my Brother Bills daughter, Deborah Wolfe. Deborah lives in Florida and we have never met. I notified most of my children of this contact and two of them being of suspicious natures wanted to check he out, just in case she was trying to run some kind of a scam on us old folks. Turns out she is not a scam artist at all but the real deal. We have not had much, basically no contact with Bill or his family since he left for the Army at the beginning of the Korean War. That was a kinda interesting thing, both Bob and Bill belonged to the same National Guard unit, Bill was sent to Georgia and Bob remained in Washington State, and was sent to guard the Hanford Atomic works in Eastern Washington. Bill was sent to Germany and ultimately ended up in Georgia where he married and remained for the rest of his life. Anyway, Bill and I did not get along very well when we were at home, so our parting was not on the best of terms. I have responded to Deborah and have tried to be honest with her but I may have scared her off, I hope not as I have nothing against her at all. There are some things her Dad may have not told her about his life before he married her Mother and I am not sure if I should be the one to tell her either. I can understand her desire to learn more about her Dads side of her family, the very little I know about my side is mostly from what Joan has dug up in her genealogy searches.
