Charles Biswell tells stories of young Robert Ferrier

On October 31, 1994, Charles Biswell recorded a tape for his brother Frederic Biswell. He tells a story of his great-granddaughter Katherine Leibel and two stories of his grandson Robert Ferrier, who can still feel the embarrassment of the "seed" story when it was told by his father David Ferrier at a dinner party they had in Chapel Hill, according to Robert's faulty memory. He can now appreciate the profundity of the question, 45 years later and wonders what would have been written on the package?

Also mentioned is Robert's impending move from Boca Raton, FL, to Chapel Hill, NC, which occurred in November 1994.

Heidi is Fred's granddaughter. Ocean City, NJ, is where the Charles Biswell family vacationed when they lived in Woodstown, NJ.

  1. Robert, even after all these years I still shutter to think of you sitting on that youth chair for over 5 hours. My biggest fear was that you would fall asleep, fall to the floor and sustain a concussion. Today that would be labeled "child abuse". Mom
