In 1950, when I was 4 years old, I remember the excitement I felt at my Uncle Tom coming to visit us in Baltimore. We lived on Rosedale St at the time and I was swinging on the banister waiting to tell him that I was going to be a big sister soon. In my mind´s eye Istill see him in his sailor suit with that great big laugh asking me how I knew that. He always has a smile in his voice when we would talk on the phone and end it with "I Love ya now". Well I hope you know I Luv Ya,too!! Joan
