Family Notes

Reference: Ch. 2 (pg 16) — “On holidays, we'd generally go to Uncle Ed's house, because his was the biggest house and the biggest family.”

Uncle Ed was my grandfather.

On page 16, Barney mentions that on holidays the Ebsworth family went to Uncle Ed's house, because his was the biggest. Uncle Ed was my grandfather — and his Christmas gatherings are some of my earliest memories.

Barney and Muriel were my favorite family members growing up. I marveled at Barney's knowledge and his maturity; I hoped to be like him one day. The book notes that his maternal cousins were ten years older than he and Muriel were — and Barney was ten years older than my sister and me, which put him in the role, for us, that his older cousins had played for him: the polished, older, admired relative you watched out of the corner of your eye and tried to understand.

— Paul Terry Walhus, Barney's cousin
