Relatives
Ward has a bachelor uncle named Billy who is a world traveler, played in the series by Edgar Buchanan. June finds Billy somewhat untrustworthy, as he tends to fill the boys' heads with thoughts of irresponsible behavior and lifestyles. June sometimes places Ward in a position where he is forced to "explain" or apologize for his Uncle Billy. No other relatives of Ward appear on the show. Ward mentions his parents (usually his father) when recalling incidents from his boyhood. Ward had a brother, and as boys, they entered a hog in a 4-H competition. Ward's grandfather was a hero in the "War Between the States".
