Great Uncle FC Comes to Visit!

My Great-Uncle Frank Caldwell Auten "FC" came to Charlotte for a visit. He is the last living sibling of my granddad. Uncle FC is 94 years old and currently lives in Texas. He was born in Charlotte back in 1914 and he wanted to come back here to spend a week and to see some former landmarks and home places. He is so full of energy and very independent...he made the flight on his own!

While he was here, we all gathered at Meme and Pops' house to spend time with him. It was fascinating to listen to him recall stories of growing-up in Charlotte and we all enjoyed the stories he told us about our granddad and other deceased relatives. This was such a special visit and we are thankful that we had this time with him!
