On Saturday we went to Sun City for a family reunion. I call them rebellions, but this one wasn't too bad. Young is my mother-in-laws maiden name. I personally didn't know very many of them, but I met a few. Normas brother Virgil was there and some of his kids. His daughter Debbie, is friends with my sister. They went to school together. Debbie said the last time she saw me "You were this tall". Well, I've grown up(and out) since then.
One gentleman I met, Walter Dean Young, was from Buffal OK. I have a cousin that lives there and him and his wife know her and her family. The other neat thing about Walt was he grew up in Ashland. Ashland is only about 25 miles from Ford. When he found out I lived in Ford, he started telling stories about when he was in High School and playing Ford in football and basketball. I had a great time listening and talking with him.
All in all it was an interesting afternoon. They made plans to get together next year, in Sun City. Hope we have a bigger turnout. It will be fun meeting new relatives of my wife.
