My story really isn't that uncommon than that of a lot of people in world. My last name comes from my paternal grandmother's husband and not my biological grandfather. So the story goes that my paternal grandmother, Cordelia married and divorced her husband Willie Felton. They had one child, my Uncle Clarence. Shortly after my uncle was born, my grandmother divorced her husband and with child in tow, moved to the Hampton Roads area in Virginia. She was employed by a Jewish family as domestic servant. Later on she became an assistant to a leading orthopedic surgeon in the area. She tended to patients and often wrapped their broken and fractured limbs in a cast.
