Lieutenant Colonel James Carberry
Most of my life, I hadn't known Uncle Jim. Though he was the brother of my Grandfather, their relationship was tumultuous and therefore his presence in our family was somewhat shrouded. My father did not abide by his father, and maintained a strong bond with Jim over the years. I remember meeting him and his wife, Kiki, when I was about 11 or 12. I'd never formed a bond with him and wasn't in touch for many years of my life. I wasn't there for him when Kiki passed away, in fact I didn't even know when or how she died.
