Relatives' biographies.

The other day I was hanging out with the sister of my one (half British) (half Sudanese) friend, who's now also my friend, and I started asking her about what her grandparents did.

Her maternal grandfather (the British one) was a prison warden, and had a famous London mobster in his prison.

I said that would have been a good memoir, "I Was a Mafia Prison Warden".

She agreed.

She also said she never really asked him about that, though; she only wanted to know about the War, which he never really wanted to talk about.

He was a parachutist, and was active in France and Germany.

Now, he's gone.
