   Ten years ago, Robert Tunston, was a freshman at Wilson High...  He was into sports, studies, homework, friends and girls.  He was a consummate first-yearer.  Then, he had 3-sisters and an older brother, at college...  There was always difference with his family.  Ronald his soon-to-be an Air Force-soldier brother, his oldest-sister was headed abroad to study at the Sorbonne and his mother and father who were a working class-blue collar worker and home-maker.  They were a black-"Bunker" family.  Everyone knew "Mac", his Dad,  who had always been a hard-worker from car-wash, to grocer-worker to mechanic now owner of the midtown auto repair shop with constant business.  His extended family went-on for miles.   Within the 50-miles radius, there was a cousin living the average life.  And all knew what the meaning of life meant.  On August-days everyone was outside.  In the home cook-outs, sports, travel and parties were a hallmark of as kin and command.  But his-family became regular-arguers around the table.  It was the generation, financial, personal and social-conflicts; Ron once admitted his choice...       Mac,  was a heavy-handed parent.  He idealized fatherhood, his Dad left the family for work and eventually, died in a car accident.  He drank too much probably, because of the stress.  He loved him and his-family, but money got in the way.  He'd feared, being too proud.  Mac then Maxwell, was a good-son, the second oldest...  He'd swore he'd never give-up, work until his family he shared; had a normal-life...  His brother was drafted by the Celtics as a forward for the '88 team.  He wanted to pay-for his brother's every-need, but he accepted-nothing.  After leaving, the team; he had paid-off 12 of his-cousins houses, bought and was growing-in a new good-life.  Mac was proud but wary of his wealth.  Enjoyed and endeavored-to be a self-made man.  He felt good to be his-own man.

Mac and his family were staunch-Republicans.  Strong-willed, and greatly, self-unaggrandisers...  Matty, his-wife he loved, and adorned; and she accepted deeply, her-family.  Just as Mac worked,  she was his "home-fire".  She was a homemaker, with an associate in premed.  Secretly, she was Mac's under-the-radar assistant, director and meal-maker...
