Maternal grandparents I never knew
Paternal were Pearl and Raymond. Interestingly, my father was born on the same date as HIS father, so he was also named Raymond. I, of course, had to be born only two days earlier, on the 19th, so I got stuck with Brian. I shoulda been Raymond the Third. It sounds so much more regal. Also, I always got gypped on presents...I either got a b-day present that "covered Xmas too" or nothing on my b-day but a promise to "make it up to me" a week later. Phooey.

Yeah, both my parents were born on Dec 27th. My mother said she was 35 before she got a birthday present that wasn't wrapped in Christmas paper.

![]() ![]() Hector was due to be born a week before my birthday and was late, but so late he missed the traditional date by another week. I don't think it's as easy to falsify birth records for a tax dodge as back in 1929. |
