Joe Edmond Duke

Uncle Joe was our favorite uncle on the Duke side of our family! He was funny & sweet which made me adore him. He would tell us that "I wanted to marry Mary "(our mother) Mama would say"Joe you were just a little boy" Uncle Joe said" you could have waited for me!" He was the best cook &always came to get me to stay at his house when we came to Houston. Mama said"You can go but don't ask for anything!" So we stopped at the store & grocery stores & finally he said"Mary said you couldn't ask for anything not that I couldn't buy you anything!," So he bought lots of stuff which I didn't ask for but he thought I would like!
