Uncle Chippy's youngest son Tommy (born August 8 1963) is residing in the Darana hotel now. Both his father and mother Erica died of tuberculosis when he and his siblings were just 25, 22, 17 and 13. In turn, he has a four year old daughter named Reba who hasn't spoken a word at all. His Latina wife Maisy is still working as an indentured labourer in a car factory.

One of Tommy's elder brothers, the fit Jonathan (born March 3 1960), is a lifelong single busker living in a slum in southernmost Texas, drinking something less dangerous than Sizzurp, while his other older brother, Kerry (born August 1 1955), has recently died of obesity related complications in Florida because of screwed up genetics.

His elder sister, Yetta Wooley (born November 1952), is a lesbian living in Portland with a friend turned butch lesbian named Toni Wooley.
