  24. Description: See notes for more on Forrest
  25. 25.0 25.1 I DO have one memory of Uncle Forrest that I would like to share, though. And this was probably about the time that we were living on Euclid. Uncle Forrest was driving a Manor Bakery wagon. (Uncle Forrest later joined the K.C. police force and spent many years with the police, eventually retiring with a high rank). The Manor Bakery had these horse-drawn wagons that delivered bread and pastries to homes throughout Kansas City. Uncle Forrest had a route and a few times he took me with him. I would sit up on the seat beside him and he would let me hold the reins. I was sure that I was in complete charge of that horse, but actually the horse knew the route better than Uncle Forrest, and knew just where and when to stop and where to turn.
  26. Two of Byie's brothers (Uncle Ellis and Uncle Forrest) had gone to France with the ambulance corps. Byie used to have a faded newspaper clipping with pictures of Uncle Forrest and Uncle Ellis, telling how they were the youngest pair of brothers in the Kansas City area to go to France
