They would appear suddenly on the back porch, smilingbroadly through the glass of the door; and everyone would get up to letthem in, to bring more chairs, to set more places. It wasn't theConley's fault entirely. They weren't able to give warning because mygrandparents didn't feel the need of a phone. As my grandmother cookeda company meal, she would debate with herself sometimes how much friedchicken and mashed potatoes to prepare and then walk through the livingroom to the front door and look through the glass to see if she coulddetect the Conley's in the drive or calming down the road.

Photographs of the two cousins, who share the roundface, prominent cheek bones, and large eyes, common to the Krumm's, showthem playing together by the back porch at the brick. Ralph and myfather acquired higher education at Ohio state university at the sametime. My father became an agricultural engineer; Ralph, an accountant.Something else I didn't understand was that Ralph's arms and legs werenot fully developed. The way he handled himself masked hisinfirmities. Although his walk was different from that of most people,it didn't seem to be that of a cripple . In Ralph's voice, in spite ofhis insurance, my grandmother heard, I imagine, the insistent note of aninsecure child; and his disguised deformities must have reminded her ofTina's pregnancy that went wrong. Ralph was, in these ways, a mementomori.."
