First time met

The first time I remember meeting Uncle Tom was over Christmas vacation. I was 16 and for some reason, I or someone thought it would be a good time to visit North Dakota.  It was an interesting trip. Loved seeing great grandma and her cats, grandma and grandpa. Uncle Tom, who was just over 2 years older than I did save the day. I enjoyed meeting his friends. He also entertained me with his Bill Cosby records. I remember Grandma yelling at him that he would let an impressionable teen hear them.  They were hysterical and we shared many fun moments.
