“Everyone who has had a sibling or
has parented more than one child
will understand this scene. Th e fruit
in question is something you might
not recognize, however. In India
they call it a raspberry. It is actually
a bunch of cape gooseberries tied
together to make a ball. To eat it,
one pulls off the gooseberries one at
a time.”

“My grandfather Henry Emile
Trouteaud and his brother Edward
bought ship tickets so their families
could move from Guernsey Island to
America. Great grandmother (Emma
Elizabeth Hancock Trouteaud)
became ill before they could leave
so the sons returned the tickets. Th e
ship sailed past Guernsey on its way
out of the English Channel. Great
grandmother was eating soup. Th e
ship was the Titanic.”
