Uncle Peter

Today I want to tell you about Uncle Peter....

There was Burr, Henry, Bill the Butcher, Uncle Peter, and John (my father-in-law).
Uncle Peter never married. He lived happily on his little plot of land in California, a rice farmer in his younger years and a confirmed batchelor when I met him.

Peter was Charlie's favorite....he visited  often as Charlie was growing up, and there were ways of his that endeared him to his young nephews.

Uncle Peter knew how to make a bed. He demonstrated to his proteges:
If you will get out of bed via the head of the bed, you can pull up the covers in one fell swoop, placing the pillow where the pillow belongs....VOILA! Done!!
There were other wonderful things about Uncle Peter, but this is about the Uncle Peter that I knew back in 1958.
