#William H Marshall

[deadpresidents]

Could you recommend books on the Supreme Court? I honestly didn’t think there were any.

There are countless numbers of books about the Supreme Court, so it really depends on what exactly you're interested in reading about, whether that might be a general history of the Court itself, biographies of the most influential justices, landmark cases, and so on.

By no means is this a complete list, but here's some suggestions that I can recommend:

GENERAL HISTORY OF THE SUPREME COURT •A People's History of the Supreme Court: The Men and Women Whose Cases and Decisions Have Shaped Our Constitution by Peter Irons (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) •Nine Scorpions in a Bottle: Great Judges and Cases of the Supreme Court by Max Lerner and edited by Richard Cummings (BOOK) •The Supreme Court by William H. Rehnquist (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) -- This history of the Court is especially interesting because it was written by the incumbent Chief Justice. •The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court by Jeffrey Toobin (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO)

BOOKS ABOUT SPECIFIC JUSTICES OR COURTS •The Oath: The Obama White House and the Supreme Court by Jeffrey Toobin (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) •Leaving the Bench: Supreme Court Justices at the End by David N. Atkinson (BOOK) -- A unique book about Justices at the end of their time on the Court and how they ultimately left the Court. Most of them died in office because the Court is a lifetime appointment, but the book looks at how some Justices held on to their seats and remained on the bench despite failing health or faltering cognitive abilities. •First: Sandra Day O'Connor by Evan Thomas (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) •Sisters In Law: How Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg Went to the Supreme Court and Changed the World by Linda Hirshman (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) -- An excellent dual biography about the first two women ever appointed to the Supreme Court and the impact they had on American law. •The Brethren: Inside the Supreme Court by Bob Woodward and Scott Armstrong (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) -- The legendary journalist from the Washington Post gives the Woodward treatment to the Supreme Court presided over by Chief Justice Warren E. Burger. •The Showdown: Thurgood Marshall and the Supreme Court Nomination That Changed America by Wil Haygood (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) -- The remarkable life of Thurgood Marshall, who was already a legendary figure in the annals of American justice as a civil rights lawyer who successfully argued the case the led to the Supreme Court striking down Brown v. the Board of Education. Marshall's place in history became even more important when President Lyndon B. Johnson nominated him as the first-ever Black Supreme Court Justice. •Five Chiefs: A Supreme Court Memoir by John Paul Stevens (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) -- This is probably my favorite of the recommendations. John Paul Stevens, the third longest-serving Justice in the history of the Supreme Court, writes about the five Chief Justices (Fred Vinson, Earl Warren, Warren E. Burger, William H. Rehnquist, and John Roberts) that he worked for or with throughout his long career, beginning as a law clerk under Chief Justice Vinson and eventually serving as Associate Justice alongside Chief Justice Burger, Chief Justice Rehnquist, and Chief Justice Roberts.

BOOKS ABOUT JOHN MARSHALL (Longest-serving Chief Justice of the United States and arguably the most important judge in American history) •John Marshall: The Chief Justice Who Saved the Nation by Harlow Giles Unger (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) •Without Precedent: Chief Justice John Marshall and His Times by Joel Richard Paul (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) •John Marshall: The Man Who Made the Supreme Court by Richard Brookhiser (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO)

I also strongly recommend checking out James F. Simon's books about the Supreme Court and the Presidency, which focus on the impact that the Court and the Chief Justices at the time had on specific Presidential Administrations. These are all written by James F. Simon: •Eisenhower vs. Warren: The Battle for Civil Rights and Liberties (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) •Lincoln and Chief Justice Taney: Slavery, Secession, and the President's War Powers (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) •What Kind of Nation: Thomas Jefferson, John Marshall, and the Epic Struggle to Create a United States (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) •FDR and Chief Justice Hughes: The President, the Supreme Court, and the Epic Battle Over the New Deal (BOOK | KINDLE)

Brand "New" List of Additions to the Arthurian Preservation Project Archive

In time, all books will be added to my Retellings List or Medieval Literature List respectively, and possibly a third page for handbooks/informational resources. Retellings may be under construction for a bit as I reformat to accommodate the influx in links. There are some duplicates—Alan Lupack's and Mike Ashley's anthologies occasionally contain a one-off story I've otherwise included in an individual volume of collected works by the author.

Links connect to corresponding PDFs on my Google drive where they can be read and downloaded for free. But if you like what I do, consider supporting me on Ko-Fi. I haven't yet read these listings in full; I cannot attest to their content or quality. A big thank you to @wandrenowle for the help collecting!

Laura Wheeler Waring, “Girl with Pomegranate”, ca. 1940, oil on canvas

Winold Reiss, “Langston Hughes”, 1925, Pastel on illustration board

Winold Reiss, “Alain Leroy Locke”, 1925, Pastel on illustration board

The Harlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism at The Metropolitan Museum of Art showcases some of the outstanding work created during this time period. The exhibition also provides some background on the artists, their peers in the art world, and their community.

From the museum-

The Harlem Renaissance emerged in the 1920s as one of the era’s most vibrant modes of artistic expression. The first African American-led movement of international modern art, it evolved over the next two decades into a transformative moment during which Black artists developed radically new modes of self-expression. They portrayed all aspects of the modern city life that took shape during the early decades of the Great Migration, when millions of African Americans left the segregated rural South in search of freedom and opportunity in Harlem and other expanding Black communities nationwide.

This exhibition explores how artists associated with the “New Negro” movement-as the Harlem Renaissance was originally known, after influential writings by the philosopher Alain Locke and others-visualized the modern Black subject. It reveals the extensive connections between these artists and the period’s preeminent writers, performers, and civic leaders. At the same time, it reconstructs cross-cultural affinities and exchanges among the New Negro artists and their modernist peers in Europe and across the Atlantic world, often established during international travel and expatriation.

This complex, multilayered story unfolds through portraits, scenes of city life, and powerful evocations of Black history and cultural philosophy. Highlights include seldom-seen works from historically Black colleges and universities and culturally specific collections. Across its broad sweep, opening with founding ideas and concluding with activist imagery made on the cusp of the civil rights era, it establishes the critical role of the Harlem Renaissance in the history of art as well as the period’s enduring cultural legacy.

Horace Pippin, “Self Portrait”, 1944, Oil on canvas, adhered to cardboard; and “The Artist’s Wife”, 1936, Oil on linen

The caption for the above paintings reads-

Contemporary artist Kerry James Marshall has described Pippin’s self-portrait as a “monumental statement of self-confidence.” In this small painting, tightly cropped at bust length, Pippin gazes confidently at the viewer, his firmly drawn likeness reflecting a well-disciplined hand. Pippin portrayed his wife, Jennie Ora Fetherstone Wade Giles, at three times the scale of his own image, but he unified the two paintings by using a similar palette. Jennie’s blue dress is echoed in the background of his portrait, while the background of her portrait is picked up in the artist’s tie and button-down shirt.

The portraits in the exhibition are not the only standouts. Below are a few more selections.

Suzanna Ogunjami, “Full Blown Magnolia”, 1935, oil on burlap

William H. Johnson, “Flowers”, 1939-40, oil on plywood

Aaron Douglas, “The Creation”, 1935, and "Aspiration", 1936,Oil on masonite

From the museum about artist Aaron Douglas–

A core objective of the Harlem Renaissance was to portray the history and cultural philosophy that gave shape to a specifically African American identity and worldview. The artist Aaron Douglas, whose monumental murals earned him acclaim as the period’s foremost history painter, was also respected for his masterful use of biblical allegory to convey aspirations for freedom, equality, and opportunity.

Douglas first developed his signature silhouette figural compositions-derived in part from Cubism, Egyptian tomb reliefs, and American popular culture-for book and magazine cover illustrations in the late 1920s. He later elaborated this distinctive style in large-scale works for public projects and institutional commissions nationwide as well as at Fisk University in Nashville, where he established the art department and taught for thirty-eight years. Both Douglas and the sculptor Augusta Savage, founder of a Harlem community art school, created art inspired by the work of the author and composer James Weldon Johnson.

Laura Wheeler Waring, “Mother and Daughter”, 1927, Oil on canvas board

About Laura Wheeler Waring’s painting Mother and Daughter from the museum-

Mother and Daughter is perhaps the most direct engagement by a prominent Black artist of this era with the controversial topic of racially mixed families; its very existence was a disruption of the silence on the subject within certain segments of society. Waring experimented with some of the modernist pictorial devices favored by Alain Locke in her portrayal of a Black mother and her white-presenting daughter, rendering them not as specific individuals but as generic types emblematic of the omnipresence of racially mixed families. Flattening their near-identical facial features in profile, Waring established the true subject of the painting via the title and through the work’s most prominent element: the divergent skin tones that point to the subjects’ radically different paths through a social life defined by color lines.

Beauford Delaney, “Dark Rapture (James Baldwin)”, 1941, Oil on masonite

Finally, this portrait of James Baldwin by Beauford Delaney was also a highlight.

From the museum about the work-

Delaney met the writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin in 1940. Finding common ground on multiple fronts-intellectual, social, and artistic-the two gay men began a friendship that would last thirty-eight years. Dark Rapture, the first of Delaney’s several portrayals of Baldwin, presents the author in a thickly painted, expressive tonal study of reds, browns, and blues against a brightly hued landscape. Both introspective and joyous, Dark Rapture stands as a visual manifestation of queer camaraderie, identity, and the search for belonging in the modern world.

This exhibition closes 7/28/24.

One of the first recorded uses of a neopronoun dates back to 1789 where one William H Marshall documented the use of “a” as a pronoun (used previously by John of Trevisa, a 14th century English writer). 

One of the oldest noted examples of a neopronoun is “thon”. This is one of the first sets of gender-neutral pronouns created in the English language; American composer Charles Crosby Converse created the use of thon/tho self pronouns as a contraction of “that one” in 1858.

but i digress🤷‍♀️

☝️

[neopronoun-user-culture-is]

not a neo pronoun culture ask but i hope that's not a problem

I just have a question. Do you maybe know the history of neopronouns? Like, where they started?

Of course, I can give you some neopronoun history!

The word "neopronoun" itself became common usage around the mid 80s to early 90s. It adds the prefix "neo" meaning "new" to the word pronoun.

The word itself is fairly recent, but that doesn't mean there weren't pronouns created that we would now call neopronouns before then.

Many early neopronouns were pushed for by feminists who wanted a gender neutral pronoun for gender neutral language in law. Or created by linguists who wanted an easier way to refer to a person or groups of indeterminate gender.

The earliest recorded usage of neopronouns dates back to 1789 when William H Marshal recorded the use of "ou" as a pronoun.

Thon/thons is also an early neopronoun, coined by Charles Crozat Converse in 1858. It was recognized by Webster's Second New International Dictionary in 1934 and remained in the dictionary until 1961.

Most other common neopronouns today (ae/aer, ze/zir, xe/xem) were coined in the 20th century. The late 20th century is when they started to become used as we use them now, pronouns used mostly by trans and nonbinary people.

In the 2010s neopronouns became popular online (mostly on tumblr) and people started coining more and more sets (this is when most of the popular nounself pronouns were created). This led people to wrongly believe neopronouns were invented in the 2010s because they had never heard of them before.

That's a brief history! And if you really think about it, at some point every pronoun was a neopronoun. We use language to create words to describe us, which is the epitome of what neopronouns are!

2 and a half weeks until JC passes Cactus Jack!

It took me a little bit to figure out what you were referencing, but yes, Jimmy Carter will pass John Nance Garner as the longest-living President or Vice President in American history on September 18th. And if he is still with us on October 1st, Carter will be the first President or Vice President in American history to celebrate their 99th birthday.

And since I'm a huge dork who finds this stuff interesting, here's the big, complete list of longest-living to shortest-living Presidents and Vice Presidents in American history: (Presidents are in bold text, Vice Presidents are in italics, and those who served as both POTUS and VP are in bold italics.)

[whitesinhistory]

On July 16, 1944, 27-year-old Irene Morgan was traveling by bus from Virginia to Baltimore, Maryland, when she was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger.

Ms. Morgan, a Black woman, purchased a Greyhound ticket that day in Gloucester, Virginia, boarded the bus, and took a seat in the assigned "Black section." About 30 minutes after the bus departed, however, Ms. Morgan and the passenger sitting beside her were asked to give up their seats for a white couple who had boarded and found no available seats in the "white section." When Ms. Morgan refused and advised the passenger beside her to do the same, the bus driver drove to the local jail in Middlesex County, where a deputy sheriff boarded the bus and presented Ms. Morgan with a warrant for her arrest.

Under Virginia law at that time, racial segregation was mandatory on state-sponsored transportation. Ms. Morgan insisted that her presence on an interstate bus meant that Virginia law did not apply, and she refused to be removed from her seat. Police physically dragged the young Black woman from the bus, held her in the Saluda City Jail, and convicted her of violating the state segregation law.

Ms. Morgan appealed her conviction and, in March 1946, civil rights lawyers Thurgood Marshall and William H. Hastle argued her case before the U.S. Supreme Court. Less than three months later, in Morgan v. Commonwealth of Virginia, the Court reversed Ms. Morgan’s conviction and held that state segregation laws were unconstitutional as applied to interstate bus travel.

Mini Fanfic #1200: Auntie Anna & I (Tekken)

1:18 p.m. Smith Coffee, Urban City........

Steve: So you were both late for registrations AND your motorcycle got broken afterwards? (Chuckles Lightly) Oho man! Lei wasn't kidding when he said you two are most unluckiest men on the face of this globe. (Takes a Sip of Tea He Order) Mm.

Paul: (Scoffs While Rolling his Eyes in Annoyance) Of course the Boyscout of all Cops would say something like that. We would've gotten there a lot sooner if I didn't had to look after-(Glares at his Best Friend, Marshall Law, Sitting Right Next to Him) SOMEONE knocked out sleep the entire time!!

Marshall: (Rolls his Eyes at Paul) Well, excuse me for getting sent flying towards a nearby wall by that "Universal Power Fist" of yours. ('Sigh') I swear, it's like you forgot how hold your own punches or something.

Paul: Hey, I can hold them off just fine, thank you very much! (Turns Away While Crossing his Arms) Ain't my fault you couldn't take a proper beating from your old pal Paul

Marshall: (Glares at Paul) Considering the wall you broke cost thousands of dollars to pay off, I am more than contempt in saying that it was definitely YOUR fault, old pal!

Steve: Gentlemen, gentlemen, calm yourselves. This is a day of rest and relaxation out in the sun, not to start a street bout. (Takes Out his Check Book From his Pocket) Just tell me how much the wall cost and I'll pay it off for you before you know.

Marshall: (Gives Steve a Sheepish, But Reassuring Smile) Thanks, Steve, but that.....REALLY won't be necessary. I'm already started paying for the property damages as we speak.

Paul: ('Heh') More like ALREADY paid off! (Points at Himself with a Proud Smirk on his Face) Courtesy of yours truly, of course.

Marshall: Wait. (Turns to Paul) You helped pay the damages, Paul?

Paul: (Happily Nodded) Indeed I did. Ain't no way I was gonna let one of my bros do it all alone, ya know?

Marshall: (Taken a Bit Aback by Paul's Help) Wow....Thanks, Paul. (Smirks Back) Guess you're not much of a lazy bum than I thought you were.

Paul: Don't mention it- H-Hey! (Starts Glaring at Law Again) Who the hell are you calling a lazy bum, chump!?

Marshall: Do I really need to explain all the time you crash into our home unannounced? For free?

Paul: Hey, I don't just come and crash in, you know? You forgetting the fact I helped raise Forrest when he was a little squirt?

Marshall: Never. And I will always be thankful for that. But will it KILL you to help around the house and restaurant sometime? Huh?

Paul: Well, I wouldn't mind helping ya if i didn't have a schedule in my own hands to fulfill. I have places to be, things to do!

Marshall: Riding around in your motorcycle and picking fights with aliens and bears aren't even close to being productive activities!

Paul: They're all better than being cooped up in a kitchen all day! And the ride's name is Charlotte. Get it right next time, yeah?

Marshall: Why would you name your motorcycle to begin with?

Paul: CAUSE I CAN DAMNIT!!

Steve: (Chuckles Lightly Some More at his Two Pals) I swear, you two are a bunch of riots.

????: Oh Stevie Dear!~ Yoohooo!~

Steve: (Snickers a Bit While Recognizes a Feminine Voice Strolling Her Way to His Table) And speaking of riots.....(Turns Around and Greets a Woman with Short Hair, Wearing a Fashionable White Attire) Hey there-

Paul/Marshall: (Eyes Widened in Complete Shock at a Very Familiar Face) ANNA WILLIAMS!?

The duo quickly get themselves up from their seats and form their respective fighting stance directly towards the lady in question.

Paul: Careful, Steve.

Marshall: That woman you're talking to is a highly skilled assassin!!

Anna: (Gives the Two Men in Front of Her a Deadpinned Look on her Face) Nice to see you, boys. (Smirks at Paul in Particular) I almost didn't recognize you with that stupid looking hairstyle of yours, Phoenix.

Paul: Hey! (Angrily Cracks Both of his Knuckles One by One) My personal hairstylist says this style is very fashionable in this time of year, you judgemental snake!

Steve: ('Sigh') Okay, seriously, can you guys not have a street brawl against my very own aunt in board day like please?

Marshall: Steve, how else are we gonna- Wait.

Paul/Marshall: AUNT!?

Anna: (Rolls her Eyes) About times you bafoons figured it out......

Steve: (Gives his Aunt a Soft Glare) Auntie.

Anna: (Turns to Steve With a Little More of an Immature, Whiny Look) What? I was only being honest!

Steve: There's a time and place for that.

Anna: ('Sighs in Defeat') And now is neither one, I knoooow......(Turns Back to Paul and Marshall) To answer your question, yes, I am the biological aunt of Steve Fox. (Happily Hugs her One and Only Nephew) And I love and adore my baby boy so very, very much!~ (Starts Kissing on Steve's Cheek)

Steve: (Chuckles Ticklishly) Auntie, please, I'm not an infant anymore~ And must you do this now? In front of my friends?

Anna: Yes, I do!~ I finally get to spend the day with you today and I am going to savor every moment of this, got it?

Steve: Loud and clear. (Turns Back to his Pals) Sorry about her, Gents. She never wasted a moment to give me hugs and kisses. Biggest softie in the entire globe, I'll tell you what.

Anna: (Playfully Pouts at Steve) Steve!~ Those two didn't need to know about any of that!

Steve: (Playfully Shrugs at his Auntie) Oops.

Paul: (Starts Snickering at Anna Along with Marshall) Is that so?

Marshall: And here we were panicking over nothing.

Paul: (Smirks at Ann Again) Over Little Miss Auntie Anna nonetheless~

Anna flips both the laughing men off before Steve slowly lowers her middle finger down, gently patting her knuckles to help calm her down a bit.

Marshall: (Stops Laughing For a Minute) Hang on. So, if you're his aunt, wouldn't that make-

Anna: Nina Williams his mother? Yes, it does. (Crosses her Arms While Glarong at that Important Fact) Not like she ever cares about him to begin with.

Paul: (Immediately Stops Laughing With a Surprised Look on his Face) Wait, seriously?

Steve: (Simply Nodded) It's true. I met her face-to-face back in Rome a while back. She denied the fact of us being related and said I was a thorn of her side before we parted ways.

Paul: (Couldn't Believe What he Heard) Oh man.......

Marshall: (Frowns For his Friend) I'm sorry, Steve.....

Steve: (Shrugs) It's fine. I can tell just by the look in her eyes that she has no interest in having me be a part in her life. ('Sigh') It's a shame, but.....Life continues to go on I suppose.

Steve felt Anna gently grab hold of his hand, giving him a sad, yet sympthic look under a glamrous, expensive shades she's wearing, before smiling softly at her, silently thanking her for the support.

Paul: So how did you guys ended up meeting then?

Marshall: Did you roped Steve in with one of your assassination adventures or something?

Anna: Yeah, something like that. I was originally tasked on assassinating him until I dug up his and Nina files, finding out that she was his mother and I'm his aunt. So rather than going through with the ordeal, I made the preparations to us to meet in person in an undisclosed location and eventually started bonding from there.

Steve: It took us a while to trust one another completely, but overtime, during our life threatening hijinks, we started to open up to one another, slowly enjoying and appericating each other's company the more we worked together as a team.

Anna: ('Sighs in Pure Relief') And I cannot tell you how happy I was when we started to get along. (Takes her Shades Off, Recealing a Sadder Look in her Eyes) Life hasn't.....really gotten easy for me in recent years, with the love of my life getting gunned down in our wedding. Right in front of me nonetheless.......

Marshall: (Eyes Widened in Complete Horror) Christ.......

Paul: (Bows His Head Down to Anna Along with Marshall) You have our condolences.

Anna: (Simply Nodded to the Duo) Thank you. He was the love if my life, practically the best friend I never had in my whole life. So it's hard for me to move on from him completely. But I will be damned if I'm gonna let this unfortunate tragedy wear me down forever. I may gotten a lot older, but I still have a young, rich life ahead of me right now and I don't attend on leaving this crazy world just yet. (Gently Squeezes Steve's Hand as She Turns Back to Him With a Sincere Smile) Especially now that I have something very precious to me I have to protect.

Steve: (Smiles Back at his Aunt) I appreciate the lookout, Auntie Anna. But you do know I could look after myself just fine, right?

Anna: ('Groans a Bit') Of course I know that! (Turns Away While Pouting Again) But would it kill you to let me help you out for once? We're a team, remember?

Steve: (Stares at Anna For a Brief Second Before Smiling Again) Yeah. We are. (Wraps One Arm Around his Aunt's Shoulder) Always.

Anna's heart begins to melt in genuine happiness as she hugs her one and only nephew back.....Right up until her phone starts buzzing in her purse, taking it out and reading the message given to her before letting out another groan.

Anna: ('Uggh') Again with this?

Steve: Duty calls?

Anna: Yup. Apparently the target my clients were looking for just so happens to stumbled his way around the other side of the city.

Steve: (Raises an Eyebrow in a Bit of Confusion) And they ask you go and find?

Anna: Yeah. Right on my day off too. (Starts Pouting Yet Again) And I was really looking forward for us to spend the rest the day together too......

Steve: (Gives Anna a Reassuring Smile) We'll have plenty of opportunities to hang out some other time. Unless you want me to help you out in anyway?

Anna: ('Sighs in Defeat') No. I got this. The last thing I want to do is potentially ruin your boxing career with my profession. But I promise I'll see you again later this evening.

Steve: (Gives Anna Another Hug) Take all the time you need to get that job of yours finish and be safe about it. I love you.

Anna: (Happily Hugs Steve Back) I love you more~ Keep having yourself a good time out here without me, okay? (Turns Back to the Duo) Phoenix, Law, it was nice seeing you two again. Try staying out of trouble this time, yeah?

Paul/Marshall: (Comically Glares at the Woman) LOOK WHO'S TALKING!!!

Anna: (Giggles Softly) Kidding, kidding. You two take it easy or whatever. I'm off. (Gives Steve a Kiss on the Cheek Before Walking Off and Waving Goodbye to Everyone Else) Ciao~

Marshall: (Waves Back to Anna Along with Paul) Good luck out there!

Paul: Bye! (Turns Back to Steve) So that was your aunt there, eh Steve?

Marshall: She seems nice.

Steve: (Chuckles Lightly) Yeah, whenever she wants to be. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Paul: (Smiles Brightly at his Boxer Friend) Good. You deserve it after all the crap you went through.

Steve: Thanks. Both of you. You're a couple of good pals.

Law: (Smiles at Steve as Well) Same goes for you too. Don't hesitate to come to either of us for any help or advice. We got your back one hundred percent!- (Suddenly Gets Pulled into Paul's One Arm Hug With Annoyance Written All Over his Face Afterwards)

Paul: Yeah, what he says! You got that?

Steve: (Chuckles Lightly) Loud and clear. Thanks again.

???: Brother!~

????: ('TIGER ROARS')

The trio turns to see two more fellow Tekken combatants, Leo Kilesen and King II, waving hello to Steve a few feet close to their table.

Leo: (Smiles Brightly) We've finally arrived!~

King: (Roars While Holding Up Two Gifts Bags)

Paul: (Waves Hello the Unexpected Duo) Yo, hey guys- Wait.

Marshall: Brother?

Paul: Father!?

Paul/Marshall: (Turns Back to Steve With a Complete Shock on Both of Their Faces) YOU'RE RELATED TO THOSE GUYS TOO!?

Steve: (Smiles Sheepishly) Not quite?....I formed seperate bonds with those two after the war ended and they're both are equally as long to explain. Not opposed to explaining it all if you're interested. (Takes Another Sip of his Tea) Mm.....Did Leroy really made this tea himself? This is absolutely delicious!
