I strive for as much accuracy as possible, but when I don't know all the facts, it's hard to let that stand in the way of spinning a good yarn. ;^) But that's the beauty of the Internet -- there's always the opportunity to get the corrections. :DC.

Uncle Tellus (Sherman Tellus Greer) is the one who ran moonshine for the Chicago mob. Uncle Pink (Calvin Pinkney Greer) was the older brother of Jim and Tellus Greer (and there were several other children in the family). Uncle Edgar J. Erekson is related on the other side of the family, not a Greer at all, but he is the son of Jonas Henry Erekson who died of liver sclerosis. You can form your own opinion of how he got it.Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06954247269382328386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19053670.post-46037235964401376872007-05-14T13:22:00.001-07:002007-05-14T13:22:00.001-07:00I can beserk with the best of them.

Except Uncle Edgar helped with Uncle Pink.<BR/><BR/>AND - for more trivia, when I was pregnant, my dad teased his mom (our grandma) that I should name my son Pinkney. Needless to say, Grandma did not appreciate that suggestion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
