"I remember the first time your
Dad came back from Annapolis -- he came up to Foley with your grandparents
in his white dress uniform. Wow!! I was still in high school at the time
and I wanted to be seen with him by all my girlfriends -- and didn't tell
them until much later that he was my first cousin. I thought he was so
handsome!!! On second thought it probably came out in the Foley paper that
he was there for a visit -- you could hardly go to the bathroom in that town
without it making the paper."

"I did golf with your Dad
a few times -- and he wasn't all that competitive -- but we were playing with
your Grandpa (Rube) and we caught him pulling up a clump of grass and teeing
his ball up on it out on the fairway -- and of course your Dad
gave him a really bad time about it -- which he denied vehemently and said
we were ganging up on him."
