Family Tree

Last night we had dinner with my parents, grandmother and aunt and uncle visiting from Texas. During dinner, I learned something new about the fam. Apparently, my great-grandfather (mom's dad's dad) has a university named after him. It's a religious school (he was a missionary) and, yes, it's in Nigeria, but still.

My mom's other grandfather was a jockey (that part of the family is tiny - all I got from them was my hair color). Number 13. He raised fighting gamecocks after he retired from horse racing.

Colorful family, indeed.
