The Smith's were proud of their family tradition.

Their ancestors had come to America on the Mayflower and the family included Senators and Wall Street Wizards.

The family decided1 to compile a family history, a legacy2 for their children and grandchildren. So the family hired a fine author to put together all their research notes, only one problem arose - how to handle great Uncle George, who was executed in the electric chair.

The author said not to worry for he could handle the story tactfully, so the book appeared and it said...

"Great Uncle George occupied a chair of applied3 electronics at an important government institution."

"He was attached to his position by the strongest of ties, and his death came as a great shock."
