Harrison Woodell Greenslade is born on February 15, 2002, the son of Steve and Lori Greenslade. His middle name is the maiden name of his maternal grandmother. He has two older sisters and an older brother. Famous people born on February 15th include singer/songwriter Melissa Manchester and mathematician Alfred North Whitehead.
In April 2002, Uncle George meets Harrison at his initiation into the Catholic church. Uncle George is asked to be Harrison's godfather(1), which automatically moves Harrison to first place in his uncle's list of favorite nephews.
In July 2002, Uncle George, Aunt Sunghee and George meet Harrison and his family in Buffalo at his paternal grandparents' home.(2)(3)(4)
In October 2002, Harrison and his family meet Uncle George, Aunt Sunghee and George in Westchester on the occasion of the entering into holy matrimony by Harrison's first cousin once-removed James and Stephanie, his betrothed.(5)
In April 2009, Uncle George, Aunt Sunghee and George visit Harrison and his family in Topsfield.(10)
In September 2009, after attending the wedding of Harrison's first cousin once-removed, Allison Duffy, the Greenslades of Topsfield and the Greenslades of New York City meet at Uncle Brian's house in New Jersey, along with many other relatives of Harrison on his paternal grandmother's side of the family.(11)
In December 2009, Harrison and his family meet Uncle George and his family and others in Myrtle Beach to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of HW's paternal grandparents.(12) Harrison is not feeling well and, immediately after this picture is taken, he is carried by his paterfamilias to the bathroom in order to spew. This medical emergency accounts for the absence of Harrison and his paterfamilias from the photo from December 2009 that appears on Aidan's page.
In February 2010, Harrison visits New York City with his siblings and paterfamilias. We stop in Economy Candy on Rivington Street. The reader can be assured that Harrison and his siblings were delighted to visit Economy Candy.(13)
In April 2011, Harrison visits New York City with his siblings and his paterfamilias.(14)
Uncle George visits the Greenslades in Topsfield in March 2013. Harrison and Aidan take on Uncle George in a two-on-one tackle football game in the snow and lose resoundingly. No photos are taken on the visit.
In July 2017, Uncle George and Aunt Sunghee visit the Greenslades in Topsfield. During the visit, Harrison, Aidan and Uncle George engage in a competition to determine who can throw a football the farthest. A prepubescent Harrison comes in first, followed by Aidan and then Uncle George, a result which greatly distressess the latter. Afterwards they repair to Richardson's for ice cream.(20)
In July 2018, Uncle George and Aunt Sunghee visit the Greenslades in Topsfield.(21) During the visit, Harrison, Aidan and Uncle George again engage in a competition to determine who can throw a football the farthest. A now pubescent Harrison again comes in first, followed by Aidan and Uncle George, a result which at this point comes as little surpise to the latter but which nonetheless engenders in him no small amount of dejection. Afterwards they repair to Five Guys for a sumptuous repast.(22)
In June 2021, Uncle George attends the high school graduation ceremony of Harrison and his future step-brother, Billie.(23)(24) To the disappointment of Uncle George, he is not able to visit Richardson's for ice cream. (Some quick and unrelated side notes: (1) Harrison's girlfriend at the time is a scion of the Richardson ice cream dynasty. (2) Apropos of nothing, Uncle George urges HW not to get a tattoo of his girlfriend, no matter how seemingly profound his love or undying his commitment.)
In August 2023, Uncle George and Aunt Sunghee visit the Greenslades in the Boston area.(25)
In February 2024, Harrison, Aidan and Haley visit Cary, North Carolina, where they meet a large number of relatives on the Greenslade side of the family. The Greenslades attempt to recreate in 2024(26) a picture taken in 2009 at the 50th wedding anniversary of the paternal grandparents of Harrison, Aidan and Haley(27). In 2009, HW had an urge to hurl when the picture was taken and indeed did so shortly thereafter. A desire to imitate the 2009 photo as closely as possible accounts for HW's pained expression in the photo taken in 2024.
In October 2024, Harrison, his siblings and his siblings' betrothed and boyfriends attend a large gathering of Duffys at his great-uncle Brian's house in New Jersey(28). (Future generations reading this will be unfamiliar with the relationship between Harrison and the Duffys; they are advised to consult the Duffy family tree, which can be found here.)
In February 2026, Uncle George and Aunt Sunghee meet Abigail and Jake (to whom she was affianced at the time) in Oahu.(29) Afterwards, the first of these jumps off a rock in Waimea Bay.(30)
