You probably know that Brad was a school teacher, but did you also know that one of his students was Robert Spiker? That's right. Brad's baby brother "suffered" under his brother's tutelage. Both brothers confirmed to me that Bob was held to a higher standard than other students in order to avoid any appearance of preferential treatment. One day, after lamenting to Uncle Brad that Daddy was disappointed in a "C" I had received in hand-writing, Uncle Brad showed me some papers that greatly lifted my wounded spirits -- several of my father's own report cards. Seems that Daddy wasn't the straight-A student I'd imagined him to be. You can imagine how my father squirmed and how Uncle Brad grinned at my newly discovered ammunition against the battle of the report cards.

Brad was one of the genealogists in our family. He traced dates for our family tree and recorded information about the community in which he lived. Click this link to read his manuscript titled, "The Good-Will Community, A History of Holbrook, W.Va., 1814-1945".
