family
Hey, cousin Roy!
Roy emailed me today, introduced himself, and asked if I were related in any way to a Leo, Ron, John or Paul Aukerman. I said yes – in fact, they’re my uncles by marriage. Roy is the son of Roy, the brother of Harry, the father of John, the father of my David.
I told him I’d post a picture of the brothers on this blog – and I’ve looked all in my picture files and through emails. I can’t find it! Bear with me though – perhaps someone else has one. There were a lot of people around with cameras, not to mention the photographer at the wedding. I’ll get on that.
In the meantime, imagine this: the four brothers are sitting in chairs, all in a line. Rather than all of them YMCA-ing (it was that part of the reception where the silly songs start getting played), each one had a letter. Ron makes a very enthusiastic Y (and does a dance from the waist up). Paul makes an M (on top of his head). Leo makes a C (without moving anything but his arms – including his shoulders). John makes an A (laughing very hard at his brothers). It was hilarious.
You who were there – did anyone get a clear picture of this? =)
So how did cousin Roy find you?
Saw that someone with his last name was blogging… I’m the first hit if you Google “aukerman.” Maybe he got bored at the office. =)
Tara:
Thanks for the picture. I really enjoyed it. I’m going to give the boys a call, I think it’s time we get together.
Thanks again,
Roy
