My first big trip away from home was to visit Uncle Carl, Aunt Gloria, and Ronald. What fun - the beach runs, the Everglades, and early morning trips for fresh bagels with Uncle Carl were among the highlights of that trip. He always tried to start a conversation with the person at the check out in a store (sometimes to my embarrassment - but I could never refute the fact that he seemed to brighten the day of the cashier and he always seemed happier for having done so). Uncle Carl always seemed to see potential in people. I don't remember him doing anything by halves!
I never could get excited about finances no matter how hard he tried, but he loved me in spite of that :-)
I shall look forward to seeing him again when we meet in heaven.##imported-begin##Kelly Hensler##imported-end##
