Both my father and uncle were very much of his physical type. I always feel such a familiarity when I see his photographs.

Tabitha ~ He appears to have been quite tiny. Almost like a puppet. I don't know why short people still exist. Have we not evolved?! Good grief.
Vernon ~ Is the Baltimore Clinch a cocktail, or a manner of speaking like Locust Valley Lockjaw? I am unclear on this point.
Anon ~ Yes, it is my understanding too that she was quite a conversationalist
