Not long ago, I received an e-mail from my cousin who lives in Arlington, Massachusetts letting me know that Uncle Willard’s house in Lexington is for sale, “Uncle Willard” being our great-great uncle. Seeing the listing gave me the strangest feeling, as if someone were walking across my grave even though I never knew Uncle Willard. He died before I was born.

Merry Christmas from Uncle Willard
