Uncle Watt and Aunt Frankie Atwood

This is Aunt Frankie and Uncle Frank (Watt) Atwood.  Uncle Watt was my dad's middle brother.

They lived in Tyler all of their married life where Uncle Watt was partner in an appliance store.  They had one daughter, Frances Evelyn, who was about the same age as me (Patsy.)

Uncle Watt used to give us kids silver dollars at Christmas time.  Aunt Frankie was always smiling and laughing and  in a good humor.  It was always a treat to see them.

When I was about 13 I spent a long vacation at their house in Tyler.  I think Aunt Frankie was ready for me to leave.  She asked me, "Aren't you homesick?"
