People just stared at me. Made me really uncomfortable. You'd think I'd grown alien antennae or something.

It was ironic, but I did not want to pursue the matter. The summer before my uncle passed, my sons and I visited my uncle and aunt on our way back from California. (My wife and daughter were in Europe).
While at a restaurant, my uncle and aunt asked out of the blue about John Ingalls. Just wondered how he was. They had reminisced when they hosted John for hospitality when my uncle and aunt were living in South Africa (early 80's).
