Hey Tony, is a great uncle a grand father's brother? Guess what I just learned from my sister today. I had a great uncle that was an actor, Paul Page.

I never knew my grandfather on my dad's side. He left my grandmother, my dad, and his younger brother when my dad was 4, in 1929. We know all this stuff about my mountain-born mom's side, but basically zip about my namesake side. But my sister has been doing some digging. Paul Page was in movies from 1929-1934. He acted in movies with the young John Wayne and Will Rogers. Pretty neat to find out. My great grandfather (Robert Curtis Hicks) was born in Kentucky and spent his life working for a railroad in the southeast. He worked his way up to assistant to the president and they moved a few times
