Gallaghers where are you ?

By
We need some input from our cousins who enjoy better weather south of the 49th! I know for a fact that there are billions of stories from there.

My hitch hiking trip to Honduras in 1991 was made all that much better by my stay in Gallagher central. I got to meet almost all my cousin's kiddies which was wonderful in itself but since then they have multiplied.

Lauren I see that you have been looking in on the blog, you need to alert the masses and get them to write.

Thanks Rob

I have an Uncle Bernie Gallagher story!! Everyone remembers Uncle Bernie loving to fish. When the Boschlers lived in the little house some of the Gallaghers came up. Uncle Bernie had gone fishing and came back with a few. Eager to clean them he set up a table lined it with news paper and went to work. Just before knife met the fish he looked all of us in the eye(who were so excited to see a master at work) and said if anyone one screams your all out of here! Well with that the majority fled. Off came the head and I found myself sitting alone. I tried to hang on but once he started for the stomach I was gone. Not one of us screamed!!

I'm reading but I feel so old because I have no idea how to create a new post! I just came across some old photos from when I was visiting for Jannette's baby shower (Nicholas) back in 2001.

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!) :( ...
