Uncle Robert, Pat, Uncle Pug and Mom, December 28, 1967

Mom always liked my Grandpa Breeze's brother, Pug.  (I found out years later that Aunt Jean did not like Uncle Pug because of a driving trip they had taken together in the 1940's--and she still carries that grudge.) 

When we began to live with mom in 1963, that's when we met our Great Uncle Pug.  At the time these two photographs were taken, Pug had remarried the woman in the top photograph when they both lived in trailers in the same mobile home park in Southern California.  Pat remained married to him until Pug died in the 1970's.  She had him cremated, which appalled mom. 

I was unaware of when these photographs were taken until I just now removed them from one of my albums and found the date on the bottom.  Obviously, I had graduated from high school and was attending East LAJC.  I believe the trailer they now lived in was her trailer.  She had a dachshund name Mr. Free.
