Buggy Family Ties

Hello Buggy Bro's & Sis's,
I wanted to share a story that happened to me last summer.
My youngest sister, Holly, and her husband Jim, had the pleasure of marrying off their middle child, Tim, in July.
I flew to Oregon for the ceremony.
Afterwards, sitting in the backyard with my Mom & Dad and my brother and his wife, a gentleman came up and introduced himself as "Joe" and told me he had met M&D last evening at the rehersal dinner and they had told him all about me and what I did for living.
He stated that he too was related to a family that was heavily into this buggy thing I did.
"Oh yah" I responded, "What's their name?" (Like I know them all)
"Well" Joe replied, "My sister Mary is married to this guy in New Jersey..."
"Fran Gramkowski?" I blurted.
"Yep" said Joe, "I guess you know them?"

You can imagine how stunned I must have looked.

The short of it is like this: My nephew, Tim married Laura. Laura's Mom (Sorry I don't have her name) is sister to Jennifer who is married to Joe. Joe is brother to Mary Gramkowski who is married to Fran.

After some 20+ years playing with the Gramkowski's I find myself suddenly related to them.

Isn't it a small darn kite world?:lol:

Wow! Too cool... I have this cousin, Adam, and he and his wife Eve, it seems, gave birth to an unrecorded sibling to their two sons, Cain and Abel. His name was Corey, AND WE'RE ALL RELATED TO HIM!

Are you scared yet? :smilegrin:
