Title: The Goldie Wilson Family
Description: Kind of a touchy subject...

I haven't really decided on who Goldie Wilson's parents was.

Basically, 18-year-old Goldie Wilson in 1946 lives with his mother, who is rather unsuccessful - and his father is dead.

In 1956, Goldie Wilson marries Sarah Carruthers. The eldest child, Goldie Wilson Jr, is born within the same year. Initially, I said that Goldie and Sarah in the summer of 1956 - but I decided to bump it back to January, so that Goldie Wilson Jr could be born in September of that year. I don't want them to have an out-of-wedlock conception, as that was really frowned upon back in the '50s - so it wouldn't be very good for the image of an interracial marriage.

In 1958, Greta Wilson (who resembles Sarah) is born. In 1961, fraternal twins (Gary and Gertrude) are born. Gary is white, while Gertrude if black.

In 1975, I initially was going to have Goldie Wilson Jr be the love interest of Sabrina Palmer (Doc's witch friend) - but I figured it be better for him to be the love interest of Ellen Baines, Sam's and Stella's youngest child. Sabrina's love interest could be Terry and Carol's son, who I haven't named yet. Greta Wilson could be Sabrina's best friend, while Terry's and Carol's daughter could be Ellen's best friend.

Sabrina eventually marries a man named Brad Wilkins - and I was thinking that Goldie Wilson Jr eventually marries a black woman. We see how Goldie Wilson III is the same hue as his grandfather in 2015 - while it could still be possible if both his mother and his paternal grandmother (as well as both of his maternal grandparents) are white, I think the chances of that happening would be fairly slim.

By 2046, Goldie Wilson's great-grandson is Caleb Wilson.

Wow, that's a lot of G names. I think Goldie III was born around 1985, because he looked around 30 in 2015. I picture Goldie Jr looking like both his dad and son, but his skin being more of a caramel color. Does Goldie Jr have a gold tooth as well?

Goldie Wilson Jr with a gold tooth? Probably not. I was actually thinking of having Goldie Wilson III be one of Haven Brown's contemporaries. Maybe a love interest, or maybe just a close friend.

I'm already writing a story called Twenty Years After, where Marty and Calvin briefly visit 2006 - but that's in the Almanac Universe. Maybe I should do a story where Marty of the Trilogy Universe also visits 2006 - which, by the way, would be after Doc puts away the time machine permanantly... until Marty Jr and Harmony get their hands on it again in 2016. That '70s Story is where the time machine gets used for the last time in 2005, which is why I felt it would only be fitting for Marty to reprise his Calvin Klein persona.
