Photos from Wisconsin

Starting with my 90-year-old grandmother sitting at the table in the background, Neal, Dan, my father, Abbey, and me.


Abbey and her long lost grandfather...

Me with my father who, because of circumstances beyond my control, I hadn't seen in 44 years...

Mom, you are right, it was bittersweet - but I am so glad we were able to finally meet that side of the family. I, like you, think about our Engesetter family reunion every day with happiness and joy! I'm really looking forward to the next one. I hope all is well with you! XO - Mary
