We will arrive at Hampton Inn in Dublin, Va late on the 27th. One brother will arrive at same hotel early on 28th. Mom is already staying with Uncle Jack and doesn’t much want to talk about Barry.
Remaining brothers just got hired to new jobs and may not be able to attend. Can’t blame them too much. I’m military retired senior nco with a good pension and a wife still working for the retired CEO of one the largest banks in Texas.
Yeah, if he’s retired, why does my wife go to work every morning. He’s the perfect boss, my wife loves working for him, and maybe we need the money, which we do, as most of us do.
In mapping out the trip, never mind gas stops, was stunned by the cost of hotels. By my calculations, driving with family is still less expensive than flying solo into the nearest airport.
Roberston?
Robertson?
Msybe twenty years ago when we placed my father’s ashes into the New River, i visited the Pearisburg/Giles County Museum.
Asked what they knew about my family. They knew nothing.
Lesson leaned for this next trip: be polite but don’t talk to volunteers.
Her family grew up on Angels Rest Mountain near Narrows. They moved to town when Celanese opened. My wife graduated from Narrows High in the mid 70’s. We live in Blacksburg.
We go back to do the cemetery thing and see the plethora of cousins. You probably know some of them. My son swears everyone in Giles is kin to each other.
