Uncle John

By
Uncle John passed away this week and it has me thinking about how little I keep in touch with everyone - Uncle John included. Then Dan did a great thing this morning and shared a story about Uncle John that I'd never heard before - and that story got us asking for more.

I'm fresh out of Uncle John stories - so i have little to offer here, but I'm going to ask Dan to post the story he sent out via email this morning since i've added some people to the blog that weren't on the original email list.

Bochsler Family Update

By
Last week I tried to "encourage" my family to post to this blog. I sent them all TERRIBLE pictures of themselves and threatened to post them here if they didn't post their own. Although they all responded soon enough to my threat, nobody has updated this blog yet. To be fair, this sort of thing is easier for me to do so I'll give a general update on the family. I won't post those nasty pictures just yet, because I'm sure there are some of me floating around and I don't want to start a war. You may remember there are 6 kids, in order of age: Mark, Colleen, Paul, David, Kathleen & Kevin. Hearing it listed like that reminds me of being called for dinner. :) Mom and Dad (Maureen and Al) are both in good health and living in that big house you remember in Ancaster. The house and property itself would look very different to many of you as my Dad's projects have really transformed the place. There are no more big willow trees (and no more treehouse!) :( ...
