William Lynn Ratcliff in front, left. He was
my maternal grandfather, and he died when I was eight years old.
I don't remember too much about him except that he was crabby and got bad
headaches and we'd have to be quiet. He and my grandmother, Vivian
Lucile Montague are the only grandparents I ever knew. My
father's parents died before I was born (my
paternal grandfather actually died two or three
days after I died, and my maternal great
grandfather, Pete Ratcliffe, died the day before I was born, May 15
1961.
