In searching my mind far memories of Uncle Ed, I am reminded of comments from both Mama and Daddy. Daddy!# first jobs as a carpenter were with your grandpa.
Dad could remember times when he was paid 25^ and 50^ a day. Think we'll- ever see it again???
I can remember visiting ypvu* granparents' home on the Old Spanish Trail as a very small child. Mama cameAaamiring the fact that your granddad had taken the time to build shelves for all Betty	Ann?s	toys0 Betty	had been trained to play
with one thing	at a time and	return	it to	its place on	the shelves before select-
ing another toy to play with. Remembering my own experiences with children, I still find that remarkable I You might ask Betty if she was old enough to remember it.
When Mama	asked Daddy's	family	to dinner with us,	it was always Aunt Ruby,
Aunt Wina, and	Uncle Ed that	she invited.	They seemed	to enjoy tenia's good
cooking0
You also asked for memories of Aunt Mate I can remember her visiting our old jjreen house on what is now Lower Bay Road. I remember visiting her house on tfotn^Strcet when I was child going to school at Bay High. Very dimly, I can remember her house on Citizen Street. I remember going as a family to have dinner with her and Aunt Wina. She was an excellent cook. We ate in her kitchen as I recall.
Aunt Mae was important in Daddy's life and in Aunt Ruby's life. She took care of both of them as babies. As you know, she never married and I suspect that Daddy and Aunt Ruby felt a little like her children. I always felt a little like her granddaughter because of her relationship with Daddy. She did her best to be helpful to Mama and Daddy when I had the childhood surgeries on my legs.
She was my first visitor when they brought me home from New Orleans. I have no doubt that she helped them financially in those days when things were rough.
Aunt Mae made her living as a dressmaker. To my knowledge, she never worked outside the home. Unquestionably, she was the Osbourn family matriarch. Almost all of the early family gatherings I can remember were at her house, especially on holidays. As a single woman, I still admire the key role she played in the family.
Aunt Wina was also a dressmaker and seamstress, as was Aunt Ruby. Grandmother Carrie must have passed it to them all. Daddy could remember her petal sewing machine. Aunt Wina also worked at a laundry in Gulfport and at Ramsey's Department Storeo I remember an occasion when for some reason, Aunt Wina was having problems putting a lining in a garment, a coat as I recall. Mama, Daddy, and I went for a visit, so Mama could help her with it. Between the two of them, they figured out whatever the problem was, but it was Daddy who made the comment that I remembered0 Sometime that night, while Mama and Aunt Wina struggled over their project, Daddy, who was standing quietly over in the corner, said, "If that was a piece of wood,
I could help you I"
