The name of her hubby is Fred?    Context:          A year or so later, my mother, my brother, and I were in West De Pere, Wisconsin. I don't know why. Another of my mother's sisters, Cal (a WAAC beauty queen during World War II), lived in Wisconsin with her convivial beer-drinking husband, and maybe Mom had moved to be near them. If so, I don't remember seeing much of the Weimers. Any of them, actually. My mother was working, but I can't remember what her job was, either. I want to say it was a bakery she worked in, but I think that came later, when we moved to Connecticut to live near her sister Lois and her husband (no beer for Fred, and not much in the way of conviviality, either; he was a crewcut daddy who was proud of driving his convertible with the top up, God knows why).

	pieanne  +  469061 Sat, 26 Jan 08 03:21 PM I guess Weimer used to be the mother's name before she got married? And yes, I suppose the husband's name is Fred pieanne Joined on Thu, Jan 20 2005 South of France ...But I'm Belgian! Veteran Member 7,517 I'm glad to help, but I'm not a native!

Yes, I would assume that the Weimers are Cal and her family.  However, I would not automatically assume from the given context that 'Weimer' was Cal's maiden name.   2) no beer for Fred = no beer for her husband? The name of her hubby is Fred? Yes, I assume that Fred is Lois's husband.
