The E2 Connection, Again
My mother had an older brother from whom she hadn't heard since shortly after
my birth, I think when their father (my maternal grandfather) died in 1963. It's
funny that my father also had a brother who "disappeared" (we
said that dad's brother "went off to join the circus"). Talk would
occasionally come up at the dinner table of the two "lost uncles."
Yesterday I received an email from my cousin, daughter of mom's brother
Leslie. Boy, was it a shock! Mom never bothered to tell me I had cousins from
Leslie.
It turns out that this woman read Aunt Tootsie Dies, right here on ol' E2,
and by doing a bit of detective work, found out that it was I who wrote the
piece.
Everything2 is read by far more people than actually sign up for an account.
This recent contact is just one of many contacts made or renewed because of my
membership and contributions to this website.
Boy, the world is really getting much smaller!
Love,
Shaogo
