Shoeless Joe & Me
“Mom was rooting around up there for a while before she found a box labeled KOZINSKY.
“I almost donated this stuff to charity so many times.” She beamed as she brought the box downstairs to my room. “I’m glad I saved it.”
She opened the box and pulled out some old clothes. Men’s clothes—gray wool pants, black shoes, white shirt, suspenders, a gray hat with a small brim.
“Don’t tell me,” I guessed. “Wilbur Kozinsky’s clothes.”
“That’s right,” she said happily. “My grandmother’s brother. That woul...d make him your great-great uncle. Nobody in the family wanted these clothes, so I took them. I’ll bet they would fit you.”
“Didn’t you say he died when he was a kid?” I asked, wrinkling up my nose. “Maybe he died wearing this costume.”
“It’s not a costume. They’re clothes, Joey!”
“I’ll look like a doofus, Mom!”
“In 1919, you’ll look like the coolest kid in Cincinnati! You want to fit in, don’t you? Come on, put ’em on.”
I made Mom leave the room while I tried on Great-great-uncle Wilbur’s clothes.MoreLess
