The first time i met my Uncle Fred (actually my "great" uncle), I was about 10 years old and was going door to door selling "Grit" newspaper subscriptions - when he opened the door I started my speal "Hi, My name is Billy Saxon..." and he said "Stop - is your dad Bill Saxon?" - I said "Yes Sir" - He said "and your mom is Brenda?" - "Yes, Sir" - He said "I am your Uncle Fred, your grandfathers brother...Come on in" I remember being too scared to go in...Wish I had, because now that I am an "old" man (39 yrs old!) I'd like to have more of these memories.

God Bless You All - As the Bible says in 2 Cor 5:1 - "For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." and that Uncle Fred being absent from the body, is present with our Lord Jesus Christ, and that we shall all be together again with no less days on that great and glorious shore

God Bless You all and I hope to see you soon - 'Little' Billy
