Pat Nevis (Leonard's first wife) had knitted stockings for Eddie and Allan (she put just "Al" for his name, but the family never used that nickname for Allan), and Newlin knitted the stockings for Joel, Andrew and Eric. Arnie had bought and customized a small pair of Santa pants for Newlin as a joke one year and we continued to put it up for decades afterward. When we needed a stocking for Arnie, we used Eddie's. In this photo only Eric's stocking is full as the rest of us had outgrown the custom.
