Henry's sister Mabel E (Knight) Greene is my maternal grandmother. I have fond memories of times spent at Uncle Henry and Aunt Lucy's boat yard on flat river reservoir "Johnson's Pond". Fun times with many cousins; mostly children of Ethel (Knight) Anthony, Dorothy (Knight) Vickery and the grandchildren of William Greene's sister; the Ryans.
