Big Family Decedent Birthdays Today

Uncle Billy, my mother’s oldest brother, would have been 76 today.  Odd to think that he was younger than I am now when he drowned, along with his brother, while out lobstering on March 19, 1975.  My main childhood memories of Middleboro center around times I stayed at his house for long stretches, easy walking distance from here.

Aunt Elsie, my father’s mother’s sister, was also born this day.  I absolutely adored her when I was little.  I don’t know what year she was born, but when she died several years ago, she was well into her nineties.  She is one of the people Valerie particularly resembles.
