JDN He was the man--------I have a wonderful picture of him from the 1800's----slender and gaunt with a full white beard. On the other hand GT. Grandmother was a robust woman. Your friend with the family is fairly descriptive of how the large families lived-----once visited a friend in the hills when I was in college who was the oldest of 13-----a small house with all kinds of bunkbeds and a small garage with a room for the parents. Family dinner and everyone helped with the cooking. That family has produced children who are high achievers throughout the USA. (Just one example of what can be done if we try.) mj
