Aunts and Uncles - A Hardy Group

In the coming entries I will introduce you briefly to my memories of my biological aunts and uncles.  Mother had 6 siblings - 3 sisters and 3 brothers.  Daddy had 8 siblings - 5 sisters and 3 brothers.  Neither had any sibling die in infancy which was a fete in itself considering medical care was more primitive and money during the Depression and the first quarter of the century  was scarce.  Not many families of that generation can make that claim, alot did lose children.  The Balks and Phillips` were a healthy lot or maybe just too stubborn to allow babies to die.
