Cousin Me, that is, cousin Pam, bothered Uncle Ed, who rarely got this dressed up, as he tried to open a gift (braunschweiger, no doubt, or some dry-roasted peanuts) in the late 1960s. Crusty, savvy, shrapnel-laced old Ed was a godsend during that time, watching over the annoying Miller kids while Uncle Bill was in the deadly cauldron of Vietnam. Your scrapblog editor is working on a novel set during that time that has a character loosely based on Uncle Ed. Someday, if she ever gets it done, you-all can read it and buy multiple copies for each other for Christmas.
