Character Interview: Uncle Bruce Blake

Name: "Uncle" Bruce Blake

Significant Other: None, since my Margie passed.

What is your strongest belief? God uses everything.

How do you like to spend your time? With my nieces and nephews...real or 'adopted'.

If you could go anywhere, where would you go? I'd want to go to a place where everyone I love, those living now and those who've gone ahead, would be together. That's heaven, isn't it?

What is your favorite food? Hamburgers, of course.

Describe yourself in one word: Open.

What type of music could you listen to for hours? I don't think I have a preference. Not that rocky stuff kids are listening to these days, though. They're going to bust their ears with that.

Your Diner, what's the best food there? How do I answer this without sounding egotistical? I'm partial to the milkshakes.

Are you worried about anyone? Ella, sometimes. Eric, always.

Was Joe a good worker? The best.

What gave you the inspiration for the name of your diner? "The Diner"? Haha, that's just what people started calling it. I figured it fit.

Do you like to sing? Only when no one can hear. Trust me, no one wants to hear!

Uncle Bruce, Joe, Eric, and Ella can be found in the novel, Forgotten Memories.

Significant Other: None. How old do you think I am?!

What is your strongest belief? Life is made for fun!

How do you like to spend your time? With friends, doing whatever.

If you could go anywhere, where would you go? I love it here in Backus! I miss my friends in Minneapolis, though, so I'd want it to be a place both groups were.

What is your favorite food? Tacos, definitely.

Describe yourself in one word: Silly!

What type of music could you listen to for hours? Whatever's on in the background...doesn't really matter to me.

Is Jane a good older sister? Usually. Maggie's pretty cool, too.

Do you wish you were the oldest? Ha! I don't think I'd make a good oldest sibling--but of course I'd love the power.

Have you ever broken a bone? Nope!

What's your wildest dream? I don't know what you consider wild...I'm gonna be a singer/basketball star someday. I'll sing the anthem before every game!

Do you like candy? LOVE IT!!

Katty, Jane, and Maggie can be found in the novel, Forgotten Memories.
