Last Sunday we had a Steuert Cousins' reunion at a restaurant in Colorado Springs. Steuert was my Mom's maiden name.I had not seen my first cousin Wayne since 1962, just before I turned 13 years old. He came with his wife Glenda and his daughter Keri and son Matthew (see below). My brother Bill was there with his wife Shari. My brother David was there with his wife Leslie and her daughter Courtney.
We had a great time trying to piece together our memories of growing up knowing the same people: Grandma, Aunt Harriett, Wayne's Dad and my uncle Jimmy, etc. We remembered
sliding down the fire escape of the grade school in Bancroft, Nebraska where my Mom was born. We remembered Aunt Harriett's roses that were in her back yard. We got caught up on those missing years.
We decided not to wait 45 years again before having another Steuert reunion!
On the way to Fort Collins from the dinner Bill and Shari and I stopped in Denver
at the Fort Logan Military cemetery to visit the graves of Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Irma.
