“When Uncle Ernie was in pharmacy school at about 22 years old, he and some others unfortunately decided to drink some wood alcohol, while celebrating having passed the final exam for becoming pharmacists. Although some of his friends died from the consumption, uncle Ernie became blind. He later lived in an upstairs bedroom with Uncle Art and that was the only place I ever saw him. He listened to the radio a lot and was particularly interested in baseball. He had a phenomenal ability to remember and recite baseball information and statistics.” – Lois Settles
