Hi Holly - Yeah, I meant great-uncle. In response to the "Ed" anomaly, Dad whose
name was William Edward was always called Ed by the family because his younger brother
Henry Harland was called Bill (for reasons I don't remember). After Dad - Ed - died
and before Henry Harland - Bill - died, we always had a problem when I visited the family
in Kansas but I always claimed to be the "real Bill".
Yes, Shirley Detter is related to us. She is the daughter of Grace Stanley Hill, the
sister of William Edward and Fred Lowell. She is more-or-less the family historian in
Kansas which is why I thought you would know her.
I'll respond to your Vanlandingham question in a separate message but I think it would
be better for us to communicate more directly in order to exchange more information. Why
don't you send your email and postal addresses and phone number to Bill Stanley, 2831B
Marquette Manor West, Indianapolis, IN 46268-3815. Include a list of the things you would
like to find out about first and I'll try to respond.
The Real Bill
