Hey Marla, 

James’ younger brother, Henry, drops by for a meal now and then, and often unannounced.  Often, James will have some heavy lifting task You wouldn’t know it to look at them. They seem like completely different species! I mean, James is all boisterous energy and booming laughter while Henry… well, he’s a bit more subdued. 

Apparently something happened to him during the Vietnam War that kind of broke him. He came back changed – quieter, withdrawn.  He lives in this little guest house on the property, which looks like it hasn't been touched since the sixties (seriously, there are lava lamps everywhere!). It’s totally self-contained - he takes care of himself and even has a dog named Scout who is as sweet as pie.

Lorraine told me that Henry doesn’t really go out much anymore – except for maybe once a week when he joins James and Lorraine for dinner.  He also pops up occasionally to help with heavy lifting or chores around the place, like moving furniture or something. He seems perfectly functional though - just… different. 

It's funny because I think Henry is actually quite nice, but there’s definitely an air of mystery about him. He reads a lot and has this intense way of looking at things when he talks – almost like he’s trying to see right through you. Lorraine said not to worry about him being interested in girls, which made me wonder if maybe that's part of the reason he keeps to himself. 

Anyway, I haven't had a chance to chat with him much yet, but I have this feeling there's a whole story waiting to be told.  Maybe one day we’ll sit down and share some tea (or whatever it is people drink these days) and I can get the lowdown on Henry Hahn.

Talk soon!
