I think it appropriate to mention something about The Harney Family...
Your name is Katherine Harney.

You're born around the year 1914 and grow up during the Roaring Twenties. You live through the Great Depression as a young adult and turn 30 during World War II.

Three years after the end of that war, a man is born who will someday be Vice President of the United States, and later be falsely accused of claiming to "invent" something called the Internet.

Three years later, a man is born who will someday be a fascist, loudmouth drug addict, and will falsely accuse the first man of claiming to "invent" the Internet.

Three years later, a man is born who will actually invent something called the World Wide Web, which will be made accessible to the public in part by the first man (while still a United States Representative), who "took the initiative in creating the Internet."

Several decades later, a man who was once a childhood acquaintance of yours will condense your whole life, as well as the lives of your family, into one paragraph, and post it on the World Wide Web:

The Harney Family

I think it appropriate to mention something about the Harney family. Besides Buck and Clarence there was an older girl named Katherine, I think, who was possibly eighteen or so. It was apparent to all of us, even for our tender years, that this girl was superbly stacked. Most of the boys in our crowd used to fantasize about her. I assure you that as far as I was concerned, my fantasies had little to do with reality. Had she fallen in a faint in a vacant lot, I would probably have just stared at her and continued to dream. Except for Clarence, the whole family was cross-eyed, but they were the nicest people I had ever met.
