This is my great grandpa Oliver Granger Williams.
I don't really remember him that well. I do remember his house and his raspberry bushes (which has now been turned into a grocery store parking lot.)
I remember his girlfriend Pearl and going to his house after he died.

But most of all I remember his white flowing, poofy hair.
{my great-grandpa Kirby, me and my great-grandpa Williams, 20 years ago!}When I was pregnant we didn't find out what the sex of the baby was. So naturally we had picked out boy names and girl names. We loved the name Henry for a boy and we were considering Olivia for a girl; a play on my grandpa's name Oliver.
{I'm sure you could have figured that out, but I felt you needed the explination.}

Well {spoiler alert!!} we had a boy and named him Henry.
Some how, thanks to genetics, Henry has inherited certain characteristics of my family. (Or should I say past family members have been reincarnated in Henry).
It seems to me that Henry has inherited great-grandpa's white billowy hair.

Maybe we should have named him Oliver.It's not too late to change it, is it?

He is a beautiful baby. Um, Henry, not your grandpa. Although your grandfather's not bad either. Jeez, where am I going with this???
Both Henry and Oliver are cool names, according to me. You could always nickname him Oliver if you wanted to. And with that name, he may get the lead in a certain highschool musical one day.
Jason's friend, m.
We almost named Maggie Olivia, because she was almost born on his birthday.. Oct 15.
The only other thing I remember that you didn;t mention was the dishes with the mickey mouse on the bottom and he would tell you to eat all your peaches (or other fruit) to see the "surprise"
Umm, John and I get dibs on Olivia, Olive or Oliver, whichever we decide to go with :)
Look at that, Mark is commenting here! What a great guy he is.
Anyway, I agree. He probably didn't get billowy hair from our side! But his good looks, definitely.
