TI: But there's something that wasn't mentioned in your memoirs and I wanted to see if I can get this. The names of your mother and your siblings, can you, can you tell me that?

CH: Their names?

TI: Yeah, the name of your, first your mother. What was the name of your mother?

CH: Her mother, my mother was Sage Clark Embree.

TI: And how about your brothers and sisters?

CH: My brother was John Fee, F-E-E, Embree and my sister was Edwina Rogers Embree. That's all.

TI: And then you had one brother or two brothers?

CH: Just one brother, one sister.

TI: Okay. And so when you were in Toronto it was with your brother John, so John was, you had dinner with John.

CH: Well, I was living with my sister.

TI: Okay, with Edwina, okay.

CH: My brother was there, too. Oh boy...

TI: And do you recall why you were in Toronto?

CH: I'm trying to think. Well, I was probably there because they were there and it was a convenience, just, I was much younger than they were.

TI: Now I, this is something, I did a little bit of research about your brother. He may have been going to school there. Is that right? He might've been going to school, either with the university, either as a student getting his graduate degree possibly or teaching?

CH: Could be.

TI: Yeah, I think he was, he was there.

CH: He was, let's see, he was eight years older than I.

TI: And you were about twenty-two years old on that day, so he would've been about twenty, or thirty years old.

CH: I guess so. And what he was doing, I really don't know. I think, I think he maybe was studying. I'm, I don't know.
