It's been years since I've talked with this branch of my family. I'll alway remember Uncle Franklin for the times I saw him over the years. They were few because we lived so far away from each other. But dating all the way back to my childhood school days he made me feel better about my existence. Both my parents married other people within the first year of my birth.
