I'm so happy that we have finally been able to meet Eldon's brother's family (Erland's family). I started searching for them 5 years ago, just before Eldon died, and before we actually knew the family. We would have loved to meet Eldon, Bernice, and their kids, as they are cousins to the relative I mentioned in my last post. We have now met all of Erland's sons (my relative's half-brothers), and this past summer we met most of that part of the clan at Larry and Diane's 55th anniversary party. It was awesome, and we hope someday to meet the cousins as well, and then hopefully they can tell us all about Eldon.

Even though I never met Eldon, I'm hoping that we can connect with his family as we have a relative who was related to him (a nephew he never knew). We're very sorry for your loss and I'm sure that first year has been very hard for the family. If you can, please contact me at 847-241-5132 or kyndojo@att.net. Thank you, and we hope to get to know you in the near future.
