I was so blessed with a number of uncles and still cherish all the memories.

My mothers younger brother, Ronald, was 12 years old when I was born. He lived with my grandparents just around the corner on the opposite end of the block from where I grew up. We spent a good deal of time together and I was probably the only three or four year old who was well schooled in the record albums of The Smothers Brothers, Bill Cosby, And much to my mother’s dismay, George Carlin.

There were a number of photos of the two of us taken in those old photo booths at the mall. This photo was from 1965.
