Arnie

Peggy and Arnie were always the exotic aunt and uncle when I was growing up. I wasn't sure at the time why that was, but it's obvious now. They owned their own business at the time - a carpet and wallpaper shop I believe. That was quite something since everyone I knew worked for some big company. They also didn't have children, so my visits to them were rarer than visits to aunts and uncles who had cousins for me to play with. What was so mysterious as a child becomes so simple as an adult.
