'He was a good brother to us all and I have
pleasant memories of little incidents in my
boyhood days connected with him. It was he
who lit the fireworks and burned paraffin in tin
cans on Guy Fawkes' Day when I was a little
boy of 5 years. It was he who went for the Dr.
when I broke my collar bone about the same
time and also later when I ran a needle into
my arm and broke off. It was with *your Dad*, George,
that Gordon and I used to stroll up & down the
esplanade many a wintry night.
'We all three sat in the choir at the
Congregational Church, but the poor man
suffered with a nervous stomach and could
never stay right through the service.
Nervousness in various forms is right in the
Harvey family. Two of my aunts stutter and I
myself have been handicapped ever since I
was 8 or 9 by stammering badly. My father
claimed it started after he gave me a good
thrashing, but he was sorry for it to his dying
day.
'I used to worry & wonder if I could ever get
my own living, get married, etc. & here I am
with my third wife, retired, very seldom
stammer any more and feel wonderfully blessed'
