time with him, soon. Bill, finally on the persuasion of Papa and Bert, takes Michael on one of his advertising agency trips. In the hotel, Bill makes a game out of Michael trying to find him, which Michael does. Soon he and Bill bond and became the best of pals. Michael would not speak of his father being dead again until 1969. On New Year's Eve 1954, Bert gives birth to her and Bill's second son, named William Edward or at the time "Billy" for short (later in the 1960s, as he aged, he'd refer to himself as Edward or "Ed" for short.)

Dick, waiting for Kathy to get better, nearly succumbs to the charms of Janet Johnson. As Kathy's health improves, so does her marriage to Dick. This is until Dick faces
