Geez, no one really famous in my fam, unless you consider Great Grand Dad who rode with the Maine Cavalry during the Civil War.
Family history says he lined up after one of the large battles to be inspected by President Lincoln.
He came home from the war at 49 years old and took a 16 year old bride.
I remember Great Granny, she lived to be 107. Her daughter, (my Grandmother) got peeved with my older brother after a visit. When it was time to leave, my bro said: "Goodbye Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Grandma!" Our Grandma told him: "Oh, she isn't that great!" Just as she said it, she realized what she said.
We all had a tremendous laugh!
