UNTIL I WAS TEN YEARS OLD, THERE WERE ONLY THREE
CHILDREN IN OUR FAMILY. I REMEMBER CLEARLY, MY
FATHER'S RESPONSE TO INQUISITIVE RELATIVES WHO ASKED
IF MY PARENTS PLANNED TO HAVE ANY MORE CHILDREN.
HE'D LAUGH AND SAY, "I'VE GOT AN EENY, MEENY, MINEY
AND I DON'T WANT ANY MO'!"

Where learned: MICHIGAN ; ROYAL OAK ; OAKLAND COUNTY
