I don't know at present. What I do know is there where a hell of a lot of 'Boulwares' in South Carolina! Should you take a look at the "Our Family Veterans" article, you'll see that my family from 'Momma Kitty,’ my great-great-Grandmother, the family migrated from 'Winnsboro, S. C. Harold Boulware was born (1913-1983) while 'Buster' was born July 8th, 1911-January 8, 1973 - 2 years after my granddad in nearby Irmo, South Carolina. Ya wanna hear something ironic as well? Get this, The house my wife and I used to own, on East Walnut Lane, was occupied by a family of 'Boulwares!' Prior to our ownership, upon an inspection of the property - mail was discovered bearing the name 'Boulware.' I did get to meet the previous dwelling occupant(s). We talked about South Carolina and Georgia but made no real connection between kin-folk. He died before we could go further. Albeit, I can't remember his first name, at present, Mr. Boulware was in his eighties when e met in Germantown. His children scattered to unknown areas of Philly. Excellent question, whether obvious or not. I Thank you for it. Thanks for responding to this latest submission and contribution. Peace and Love, Greg. > Black In America/HBCU Viola Dunn-Thigpen wrote (Mon Jun 10th, 2013 at 2:33AM): I read your Ghost Writer interview. You're an interesting and thoughtful man. You mentioned "The Choice". I still have that book! I'm going to read it again. Another thing we have in common is Langston Hughes. I love his poetry, short stories and plays. I touched his desk at Lincoln Univ. and we share the same birthday.
