RM meets his namesake, Red Gibbs

Well, there was one very happy 94 year old uncle in Georgia yesterday. I will try to post more details of our trip to the beach soon, but i wanted to first mention this very special lunch date. We took a Sunday drive away from the R&R on the coast to give RM a chance to meet his great-great-uncle. Uncle Red is the only surviving brother of the three, one of whom was Floyd's grandfather. Uncle Red never had any children of his own. He is a massive man, and has always impressed everyone with his stories... It doesn't really matter if they were as large in life when they actually happened, or if they have become taller tales over the years. The fact is, he is one of a kind. He might be a bit grumbly most of the time now - heck, if i was 94 i might be grumbly too - but as soon as we put that baby boy in his lap, you would have thought we'd shown him a taste of heaven. It really is funny how they favor one another.

And of course, Red might be mostly white on top now, but he's got a tinge of his true color radiating around his crown. RM's baldness also has the copper sheen.
