Ernie & Ernie & Ernie & Ernie
For years, people have been surprised to find out that I am Ernie IV. Well, here's the proof. In this unique photograph from October 1974, you get to see four generations of my family, all with the same name. I'm the little tyke in the powder blue shirt, lower right. Ernie III is in the stylish maroon jacket at upper left. Ernie Jr is in the plaid jacket upper right. And the original Ernie is seated at center. This picture is from a trip to North Carolina that I barely remember. It's badly faded and rather spotty if you look closely, but it's still a classic. It occurs to me that I am now almost 10 years older than my father was when this picture was taken. He's also the only other Ernie left.
