*snort* Good news about Jr.'s job!
So sorry to hear about your Aunt. I don't think any of my Daddy's siblings are still living. Mama had 9 siblings, and of the 10 kids, 6 are still alive. They are all getting on in years, though. The baby of her family is now about 68. He is only a few years older than my oldest brother, who is the oldest of the grandkids.

My dad was the youngest of 9. Two "older" brothers died at age 2 and 4 at the end of the Spanish flu epidemic. One died on Saturday, my uncle was born on Wednesday and the other son died on Saturday.

See, it runs in the family. ;-)

When my dad died in 1978, he was the first of the adult children to go.
