Uncle Harald

family_journal2
Uncle Harald reminded me of Frankenstein: tall, big-boned, large hands and feet. He used to smoke a pipe and had bad breath and big livery lips. He always wanted us children to kiss him on his mouth. This was gross. He was, I believe, an engraver by profession. He engraved jewellery and sport trophies. I thought he engraved tombstones.
