Linda--Your grandfather, Edwin Ernest Eckberg, was my Uncle Ned, b. Sept. 24, 1908, died in August 1983. My father, Adrian Emmanuel Eckberg, Sr. was his older brother, and was called Ted. I have a younger brother, Ted (Adrian E. Eckberg, Jr.) who will be 65, and 2 living half-sisters: one, Fran Lowell, 75 remembers your mother, Clare, as they were the ssame age, and both of your mothers had divorced. My other half-sister, Ellen O'Connell, now 80, remembers when your grandparents were still together, in Denver, in the late 30s. My father divorced, moved back to an engineering job in Panama, where he met my mother, and they married in '41. My sister Ellen's husband, Bob, who is still alive, and was a patent attorney, helped Ned with his patents. You can reach them at
