    Notes 
    • In 1985, his mother, Catherine Griffiths Halladay wrote:

      "Oh yes, I must also tell you about your Dad and Grandma Townley rocking.  Grandma in the chair and Eddie on the wide arm.  They were taking a ride with Old Billy.  Your Dad would also read his books to Grandma.  Everyone thought he could
      really read but he had really memorized them, they had read them so often.  You can see why he became such a reader.  His relationships with all his Grandmas were so fine.  Grandma Griffiths, as did I, taught him a lot of nursery rhymes.  I used
      to sing "Rock a Bye Baby" to him when I rocked him, and when I got to "on the tree top," he would always say "tree top."  He was a real doll, and, oh, so very attractive and cute and smart.  We did these things with all the kids.  I was the one
      that always had to go out and fly kites with them.  [Your] Grandpa Halladay had to help get them down sometimes when it got dark and we were out trying to get them in.  Cousin John Christofferson once caught Eddie's ear with a fishhook.
      Getting it out was a real experience.  Like Tim, your Dad was always getting hurt.  He just tried everything, I guess.  When he was a baby he didn't , but Annette made up for both of them when she came along.  Carl was an ideal baby, always
      good about playing in his playpen.  I guess he knew he had to be good as his mommy had a lot of physical problems when he was a baby.

      ...Your Dad used to have a 4H garden and  he worked very hard at it and he won some nice prizes.  We sure had a variety that year in the garden. He also raised pheasant chicks for the Rod and Gun Club and chickens also for 4H.  He had poor
      luck with his pets being hit on the road, but he always wanted them anyway.  We had a mother dog "Luckie" who had 8 pups under the barn. What a bunch of mouths to feed.  His black kitten got hit and he saw it. I will never forget him bringing
      it home thinking we could revive it.  He used to not look where he was going, and once he hit a cement post because he was looking behind him. Lucille Snyder came home helping him and bringing a well-bent bike.  He had to sit with hot
      compresses on his leg so he wouldn't get bone infection.  In East Lansing district school the older boys shut him in the boys toilet knowing there were bees in there and he got stung terribly.  We wouldn't have known him when he came home, he
      was so swollen.  Poor little thing.  When he went to Lansing High he was determined to play football and had a try at it.  Never became a star."
