    niece Wallis to CMB 4/06:
    I do remember that my uncle Morris was very ahead of his time in that
    he was, due to illness, a house-husband for a while and his wife, my aunt Minnie owned a hat shop.  I thought the hat shop was wonderful.  I used to love visiting there.  I guess I was a born "retailer".
