no psychiatrist in the family :) Well... Uncle Adolf... tho I never really knew him - I did see him when he was quite old and lying in bed with his little grey beard sticking over the sheets. I loved Aunt Mary whom we visited several times as a child in Baltimore. She was a delight and there is no getting around that. A kind hearted, generous, and wonderfully warm woman. When we stayed with them there was a butler/cook/long time friend named Adkins or Atkins who lived there and worked for them for years and more years. When we ate in the dining room if Aunt Mary wanted anything she would just step on the rug under the dining room table where there was a floor buzzer which would ring in the kitchen and out he would come. He, too, was a reflection of the home, and put up with the two little girls who had come for a visit and let us explore everywhere. Even then before his death they had a wing or area set aside for several secretaries who were cataloguing his work. I wasn't old enough to be 'impressed'... I was impressed with the love and acceptance. You see, Aunt Mary was my Dad's Aunt and they were the only side of the family that stayed in touch with us and loved us after my Dad... during the war... found an extremely wealthy woman and said goodbye to eight years of marriage and two little girls --- that's long dealt with however it shows the wonderful person Aunt Mary was... she was her own person - as I understand, was Uncle Adolf, and couldn't care a fig about protecting the image of the darling little boy who had left his family. (Actually, to give others some leeway, I think many of them were probably appalled at what he had done but didn't know how to handle it) There is another story out of that side of the family that was great! But shower time and coffee time beckon ;) medicalarchives.jhmi.edu welch.jhu.edu
