I can still remember Uncle Werner as he sat on the enclosed front porch at Grandmother's house when he and aunt Frances would come to visit. Sometimes on the green and white "metal glider", sometimes in a chair. Always ready to enter into conversation with the "young" or "old" - and at times a little snooze before the drive back to his home. Very fond memories indeed.
