    Uncle Chuck loved golf and my earliest memories of him were watching him practice his drive in a large meadow at my grandmother's (his stepmother) house. When he retired, he played golf as often as possible. He also loved Olympia beer, a product of the Pacific Northwest. The family story was that when he moved to San Jose CA and lived with us, Oly wasn't available. He single handedly got local stores to carry it.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours! This is the AncientFaces family in Cupertino CA at Christmas in 1957. Two of the founders were little girls and the Founder and Creator was born decades later. Hope your day is full of love however you gather.
This was a great time for us kids. Uncle Chuck lived with us, Uncle Fred, Aunt Ann, and their children lived nearby in Cupertino, and Aunt Norma and Uncle Bill lived in the adjacent city to us, in Santa Clara. Pam and I couldn't get up Christmas morning until sunrise so when it got light, we'd jump out of bed and get Mom and Dad and Uncle Chuck. Dad would call Aunt Norma and they would come right over. We would be excited and the adults would be bleary eyed. They would begin the day with screwdrivers (!orange juice & vodka) while we opened presents. Then around miday, Uncle Fred and family would come over and we'd eat and party all day 😁😁 Chrstmas was a dawn to after dusk affair and the more people, the merrier. Lots of family and a stream of neighbors dropping by. Uncle Bill came from a small family and he and Aunt Norma didn't have kids. I think he loved the chaos!

I'm happy you're building this biography about Bill. I honestly have no idea who he is...I can see it's Norma's husband, but I never really got to know grandpa's brothers and sisters.

Uncle Bill died before you were born and was an Uncle by marriage. You only knew her 2nd husband, Ted, when you were a child. She married Ted decades later.
