All Hail "Brother", for he leadeth us from shack ignorance to the doorstep of the house of knowledge, hail!
He makes us look like such pikers. I never heard of some of these names.

I'm paying attention, Kevin, as I always have. I wasn't really shy when I was little, I just didn't want to be side-tracked or I'd miss some pertinent information!
I haven't heard "Brother" in a long time. My mom used to always say "Brother and Eleanor". I don't think I knew your dad's real name until I was ten. She also used to refer to her brothers and sisters as "the kids". She doesn't seem to say that anymore. I guess the kids are finally old enough not to be the kids.

Why did they always call uncle Ed brother? Because he was the oldest brother or cause he was the only brother for awhile?

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!) :( ...
