Subject: [PHILBRICK-L] Black Sheep in the family?


The Smiths were proud of their family traditions. Their ancestors had
come to America on the Mayflower. They included Senators and Wall
Street Wizards.

They decided to compile a family history as a legacy for their children
and grandchildren. They hired a fine author. Only one problem arose -
how to handle that unwanted information that great-uncle George had
brought to the Family Tree .... when he was executed in the electric
chair!!!

The experienced author said, "No problem", he could handle the story
tactfully, and so he did!!

The book was published, and here is what it said:

"Great-uncle George occupied a chair of applied electronics at an
important government institution and was attached to his position by the
strongest of ties, and, indeed, his death came as a great shock."
