Family Memories

by Clarence A. Boon

***This, Clarence A. Boon's 19th (and final) book: [...] is a story about the Hamel family. There were six girls, and then five year later a boy was born.*** Of course everyone said Charlie was a spoiled brat. But his Dad gave him a spanking if he did something wrong'. His sisters called him a pest when they had boy friends come to visit them. It was at school that Charlie had to put up with the worst teasing of any boy. ***The kids all said there were no boys in the Hamel family, there was nothing but girls, so they gave him a girl's name, which he carried with him all the time at school.*--(Author FOREWORD small excerpt: 1st of 4 paragraphs.)**
