I do like history, here's a little that's close to me. My great Uncle was a very cool dude. He was born 1882, fought for his country and was a stage actor. He had a grin like the Chester cat. I only remember meeting him once, it was on his death bed and you couldn't wipe the smile of his face, he was so happy to see my mother and name-sake. I was about 8 yrs.

He's not blood, he was husband to my great grandmother's sister. We're similar blond and blue. They didn't have any kids. I was named after him, so my kids and I are what's left of memory. I was left with some very cool history. A bunch of scrap books, he was artistic, the work is so nice. My late mother had some of it, so I just came across two more scrapbooks.

Just a few pictures. The first image is a little ironic. He was a wise man.
