Did Uncle Frank have normal hands?
Merry Christmas - Nice things, and posts, are nicer than nasty things.

I think so.  He was able to handle mail as he was a postman.  Before that he survived the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The skinny guy on the right is Mack, who just happens to share an uncanny resemblance to my late Uncle Frank.
HA!
Did your Uncle Frank enjoy his meals?

I seem to recall that he did, in fact I seem to recall that we all did.  There was very little obesity back then (the 40s, 50s & 60s) and it seemed like we could eat lots of food without gaining any weight.  One of the things I liked about Uncle Frank was his voice.  He had a very nice, mellow tone of voice, very calming.  I used to love conversing with him just to hear him talk.

Sounds like your Uncle Frank was not like Uncle Amos. You are correct about obesity back in the day. 80% of the people in my family were/are thin. And we loved to eat our meals. No snacks and no soda. I think food was cleaner. Does that make sense @Rikki Gins ?
My father had a very sweet sister named Elizabeth. Aunt Elizabeth was married to FRANK. Uncle Frank was plump and mean to everyone. Uncle Frank only loved his biting little Chihuahua.
When Uncle Frank passed over, he was buried in plot with my family--with family members that were unknown to the immediate family. A very old family plot. My sweet Aunt Elizabeth was buried with her Mother.
PS/ I am enjoying this story line about the Major and his adventure in the airplane and the walnut tree. @juan the radio is very active.  ;)

Yes, it does make sense, @FISH.  Of course some of it has to do with age.  Sad to say that we don't assimilate food and drink as efficiently as when we were young.  I can recall eating a couple cheeseburgers, fries and an extra big bottle of root beer as a kid, with no ill effects.  As a monitor, I'm able to remember brief events of life on the enlightened planet that I came from.  One was regarding food and drink.  The people on that planet can eat and drink and for the most part, everything is totally assimilated into the body.  Therefore, visits to the bathroom are few and far between.
