Rich in History

Thanks, Joe, for explaining the extensive connections between our families. It's both exciting and a little intimidating. I bet there's a library of stories about our ancestors out there waiting to be discovered.

Thanks for getting us started with the touching memoir you wrote in 1994 and 2000. The details are so rich and vivid it's like reliving your life—particularly your lifelong struggle with osteomyelitis. Your openness and honesty puts this blog in a class by itself!

I love your stories about the farm as well. They remind me of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer and illustrate how surprisingly simple it is to bring the past to life. Great start!
