If Grace Is True|The Stories We Tell Part 3 Episode
Philip Gulley-My mother's father, Henry Quinett, was born in 1904 in Belgium, and with his family sailed on the Red Star boat line to America in 1909. They arrived at Ellis Island, where his name was changed from HenrĂ QuinĂt to Henry Quinett. Because my grandfather was never one to hurry a decision, he lived here thirty-one years before becoming a citizen in 1939. His citizenship papers are framed and hanging in my garage, above his workbench, next to his woodworking apron.
