TUply name, too. Later that day, the couple were visited by Alphy's half- brother, George. Upon hearing that the baby would be named Nelson, George expressed, "That's an awful long name for such a little baby". Alphy and Margurita reconsidered the name they had picked initially; then they decided that Dennis would be a more suitable name. So it was, the baby was named Dennis. Dennis would grow up to have a warm, pleasant personality. He had a good sense of humor, and was very jovial. He had a very 'hearty' laugh. Dennis would inherit his father's interest and skill for carpenter work. He would also grow up to be very skillful at mechanic work. During his growing up years, things seemed to come easily for Dennis - he made friends readily with his quick wit and magnetic personality. He didn't lack confidence or charm with the young ladies. But there was a 'dark cloud' hanging over Dennis. In 1968, Dennis was involved in a serious accident, which claimed the lives of four of his friends. This would change his life forever - he would never again be as carefree as he was prior to the accident. 82
