Over the past few weeks, Aiden has been working on the big Family History Project, better know as the "FHP". For this, she had to interview different family members, present the connections for the family, and then pick one person to focus in on and do a more in depth report. It was great to help with the interviews and learn more about everyone. To learn that Grandma Carol was politically active in the 60's was very interesting, although not at all surprising. Papa Kelvyn was equally fascinating, although the best part was convincing Aidens classmates that..."see, I really am black!" And even though he's not really related, we had to include Dan. Race-car driver, business owner, engineer, a raised on a farm. I'm supposed to be the coolest person, but it looks like Dan is giving me some fierce competition.

Aiden - this totally rocks!! All I can say is wow. I have a special place in my heart for this stuff... I have my family tree going back quite a ways, I just love all this personal history stuff. Very kool, I am very impressed.

Jeff... thanks for putting this up so everyone can see it!

I would have like to have seen pictures of Carol & Kelvyn from back in the day....I'm picturing very mod-squad-esque ensembles on both.
