Namesake

Wilson is named for his great-grandparents, my Dad's father, Wilson Hunt, and John's mother's father, Curtis DuBois. Legend has it that Wilson Hunt, the youngest of eight children, was named by his siblings for president Wilson. We don't know the story behind Curtis's name, just that he was a tall, lean man who liked to sing, ran a filling station and loved Cadillacs. Since Wilson Curtis was long and lean when he was born, we hope he will grow up to fill those shoes. Below is a photo of Great-grandpa Wilson and his namesake at Christmas.
