I posed a question about what happened to Dad's cousin who used to come visit us on facebook. Paula and Brenda are putting together a family reunion next year in MN and invited those that live out here. The ones up north are responding. Well after I posed my question I got a private message from another of Dad's cousins. Seems Don died a few years ago of lung cancer. Another one of his cousins died from brain cancer. Got to wonder about that. What are the odds that two cousins would die from a somewhat rare form of cancer? Anyway I finagled an invite to the family reunion that they have annually up there. And I finagled an invite to come up and meet them again (I went to a family reunion as a kid) and look at pictures and visit some cemeteries. Sounds like great fun.
Funny how getting older makes you want to make those connections with family. And Marcia said it is only another hour and a half past Seattle. Way up north next to the border.
