I've discovered that Ruth's husband George Ellis was my cousin once removed - the first cousin of my dad in fact.

Carl, Dennis and Brian are brothers, and Mike Love's a cousin.

I was a little bit skeptical because this kid was only weeks removed from having his brain opened up. I asked his father, Earl, and he said the doctors were OK with it, and I double-checked with the doctors.

My dad recently reminded me that my grandfather's cousin was Lefty Frizzell.

I'm being a dad and a good husband.

I checked my files and discovered that I had seen the letter there in 1976. As a historian, it makes you angry that these types of thefts are occurring.
