Brother Timothy, our Family Historian
told me a story yesterday that I did not know.
I'll preface this by saying me & my brothers' love taking car drives!
Timmy told me a story of when our Uncle Dan, my father's brother,
got a promotion while making a career in the Air Force. He was offered two possible assignments:
* Alaska, or
* Hawaii
Uncle Dan chose Alaska!
Uncle Joe, another of my Dad's brothers, decided to pack his family
into the station wagon & take a drive from Levittown, Pa to
Anchorage, Alaska to visit his brother Dan.
I think Dan chose Alaska because brother Joe convinced him that if he selected
Hawaii then Joe & his family & Dan's other brothers, along w/ Uncle Phil would be unable to take
a long drive out to Hawaii to visit with Dan & his family...
or something like that...
I'm disappointed that me & my family never got the chance to drive to Alaska!
Uncle Dan was my Godfather. Wonder if he knew that?

The Vega couldnt make Camp Stearne...no chance for Alaska.

OTHER THAN THAT, we would have gone. (somebody check what J jr is smokin’)
