TLF: "... we set out for a visit to Stockbridge, there to help celebrate my father’s eighty-fourth birthday. ... In the Canning House (rented by my parents for a few summers) we found ourselves ... placed somewhat in the position of pawns on a chessboard. Other pieces in this little game of my mother’s [besides my wife Pat and me] were my brother Andreas and his wife [Wysse], and Frank and Teresa Kortheuer. Frank was my father’s boyhood friend." [205]
