Notes:

My personal recollections of conversations with Grandpa Frank (William Franklin) and my father regarding my mother:
My Dad had to help my mother learn English and she taught him German. They met in Germany during the War. Grandpa Frank was her sponsor in the US when they married and came here. She tried to get Grandpa Frank to go to the store to get some carrots and couldn't remember the name for it and drew him a picture. Grandpa Frank about landed in the floor in fits of laughter. I heard Grandpa Frank repeat that story when he came to visit us. I remember Grandpa Frank annoying Mom by pouring his coffee out onto her nice saucers to drink it. Uncle Slim did the same thing so she finally bought coffee mugs.
