Picture a lucid, witty, warm and at times crotchety old man nearing his hundredth birthday; mix with a young, energetic traveling salesman; throw in a pair of teen-age daughters, a wife pursuing a mid-life career and place them in America's picturesque Pacific Northwest. Next, require that the salesman spend two years covering at least four thousand miles a month eking out a living selling dairy equipment directly to farmers. PRESTO! You have the ingredients that will have you laughing uncontrollably one minute and crying the next. More importantly Uncle's story reminds us that even when one feels finished and spent, there still can be much left to give.
