Rachel, your grandfather is my Uncle Gene. My Dad was Lawrence. We used to go to your grandparents home often. I remember when the home was added onto because all of the kids were getting bigger in number and bigger in size. More bedroom space was needed. We used to buy butter because they had a cow and made butter from the milk. Selling our eggs, to family was one of the 'side' incomes we had. We would pick cherries off the trees to eat while we were playing outside. Michael and I had lockers next to each other at Lakeshore HS when they built the new building. Dan was in my sister's class. I think Jim was a year older than the sister between us. Recently got some more info on your family from Mary at Aunt Helen Bayman's funeral this summer. Your Mom is Patsy? She is 3 years older than I. Family calls me Lorrie.
I'm still looking for info on the Polish Dejas. But haven't been working on the Family tree since summer. You can send my info on your family at my e-mail address: lorriedee703@yahoo.com
