Aunts and Unks
My father was very close to his Uncle Wesley Ernest Disney and called him "Unk" in his letters. He also used his middle name Ernest rather than Wesley. Wesley Ernest Disney was a U.S. Representative from Oklahoma. The town of Disney Oklahoma was named for him because he built a dam there. The United States House of Representatives (or simply the House) is one of the two chambers of the United States Congress; the other is the Senate. |
