My Uncles
I have special memories of my uncles. Ted and I were closest in age. To tease him, I would call him "Teddy Bear". Uncle Dick called me "Pumpkin" from the time I was a litle girl to a grown woman. Best memory of Uncle George was the time he took me for a ride in a small Piper Cub plane. Ted, Dick, and George all served in the military. Uncle Rex and his family always lived the closest and we would get together often.
