We nearly lost our beloved Bill Barnwell, my dad's best friend from NC State design school and my mom's big brother, on Tuesday July 13, 2010 to a heart attack. I have not blogged much lately for lack of interest, and for some time my heart was in my throat for Bill's journey from ambulance ride to quadruple by-pass surgery. Bill was named for his father, who was a great storyteller. This gift for engaging people is something which comes easily for my Uncle Bill, and I would like to dedicate a good bit of the spirit of my research and writing about the family to him. He is, for all of him, a blessing in our lives. There is no doubt that his survival over the past 2 weeks is a miracle.
I love you, Uncle Bill. This one's for you.
p.s. Jarvis has lost over 20 lbs since these pictures at my wedding were taken.
