Hello Old Man!Hello GW, soon your roof will be tended and back in shape. A house is in peril without a good roof.
I was youngish when grandma went to prison, my understanding it was about blackmail. It wasn't really spoken about. My family was good at that, ignoring and forgetting past unsavory deeds.
The only 2 family members I knew were my mom and grandma, everyone else was through marriage.
I love them both dearly. I share in some of their shortcomings.
We have the same issues with family history. If you can't ignore it, change the story....................
Sorry you had such a rough start brother!
