Lee was my uncle (died a few months ago, actually). Big Emma was Lee's mother in law, little Emma is my aunt. Leopold Adler was my great grandfather (in one of the graveyard pics I posted). I have a couple of antiques we bought from John Williams. Most everyone in the book I knew and grew up with their kids, who grew up to be just like their parents.
