May 27, 2008: Memorial Day Get Together…

  Daddy, mother, and myself went up to Massac County on Sunday for a family get-together.  It ended up that it was moved to Kentucky!  So we made our way back down the interstate and into the Benton area.  We all had a great time.  My Aunt Jeno was there – it has been a long time since she has seen me.  I was a little kid to be exact!  It was nice that she was able to see my mother again.  She has talked about it and mother has talked about it for YEARS.  So now they were able to get back together.  They talked for a long time.  I think she had a great time.  My dad had a nice time as well – everyone caught up on the latest stories.

  I had fun.  It was nice to learn a few "war" stories from some of my family members.  Still looking into my Great Uncle Robert Dodson.  Apparently he was involved with meteorology when he was in the armed services.  Will have to find out a bit more!
