Part 4 is a four way conversation about family heirlooms and who should get it and so on. Not the most elevated of conversations perhaps but one I would guess many of us have been part of. The meaning that personal property of the ones we knew and loved is powerful. That said here is part 4

Here is the first of a conversation between my Dad and his Uncle Raymond "Ray" Wilson. The younger brother of my Grandfather Al Wilson Sr. Also on the tape is Louise Wilson, Ray's second wife and myself. It was recorded on August 27, 1977 at 1927 Madison Ct., Carmel Indiana. The conversation is predominantly about the Wilson family. At the time Ray was in his mid-seventies. He was almost completely blind by then. Up until 1971 he and Louise lived in San Mateo CA on Parrot Dr. The picture below is from 1964 and that is my Dad's red Pontiac LeMans in the driveway. Behind the house was a huge rolling field which was between the house and the college. Horses grazed in the field and my Aunt Louise and I would go over the fence and fee them sugar cubes. We used to visit Ray and Louise once or twice a year until they moved back to Indiana to be near his son and family.

The next series of recordings will be my Dad talking with his Uncle Ray Wilson. Most of the conversation is about family history. As a preface to that here are some photos relating to the conversation as well as the handwritten notes my Dad was taking during the conversation. Included on the tape is Ray's second wife Louise, a fantastic woman and myself:

I do not remember my grandmother Wilson. She died the day after my first birthday. However my parents spoke of her often so combined with the collection of photos and personal items I feel as if I know her. Back in 1986 I asked my Mom to make a cassette recording of her memories of my grandmother. As one would expect she talks about other family members and friends. Due to file size limitations the audio is broken up into many parts. I also had to eliminate all the photographs and the quality is not high definition visually or audibly.
