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.

Hey Deb how old were you when you found out Uncle Ed's first name isn't Ed?

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!) :( ...

Remembering Sean

By
The remaining Barrys. This picture was taken at Sean's funeral. Sean's absence is definitely felt. The last time I saw Sean, was about a year ago, the end of March '06. My husband, Brian and I showed up unannounced at his place and he graciously entertained us. If he had other plans, he never mentioned them. My brother, Brian has a pub in Camrose, AB. Sean apparently would stop in daily and drink coffee, wanting to stay in touch. Brian had a new year's eve party a couple of month previous, so I asked Sean if he'd gone. He said no, he'd quit drinking and realized that a new years eve party would probably not be conducive to achieving his goals. He'd also recently quit smoking. I remember thinking that was a lot to give up all at once, but of course didn't want to say anything to discourage him. Sean also had a dream to buy himself all new camping gear and go on a camping trip. This he did at the end of the summer. After achieving his goals, his heart gave...
