My oldest brother is 15 years older than me. He joined the service shortly after he got out of high school. I was only three. All of my memories of my oldest brother are good. I remember being around 10 when he got married for the first time. His wife wasn't a very nice woman, but she let me stay at their house when they weren't home, which I liked. His daughter recently got married. I was 13 when she was born, which made being an aunt seem surreal.

Two times in my life my oldest brother moved into our house in different manners. In once house they converted the garage into a little studio. We used to peek into the windows and watch him make-out with women. Another time he lived with us, he lived in a little guest house like building out back. My sister and I would go into his place and steal his change, he had one of those huge jugs of change and he never noticed.

He was a good great big brother, even though he wasn't around much since he was so much older.
