I spent most of today in Mamou at Dowells Lafleur's Surplus Store. I met several fascinating people today. But what really hit me was the realization, that I am probably related down the line. My Grandpa would have known theirs.
I listened to the stories, and could easily see the deals being done, the faces of the people involved and even hear the sounds of the laughing and singing.
We have so little time to capture the these memories before the last of those who can share these stories are no longer with us.....
That, is the purpose of the 'family reunion' in February 2013, and we have a BIG family...... get ready folks
