Calling all Cousins!


You have seen the emails, you have heard her ask politely and now she is having me do her dirty work.

Aunt Virginia is putting a Nielsen history book together. This isn't just about Nana and Poppop, it is about Poppop's parents, his siblings and all of his offspring. So what does that mean to you?? Here is what Virginia needs from you:



A short history about you, how you met your spouse (if you have one) and a family picture.
(Who DOESN'T like to brag about themselves?)



AND



Any memories you may have of Nana and Poppop.



Pretty easy, right?



She needs these ASAP.



Not to name any names, but we are still waiting on the 3 "K's" from Virginia's family

ALL of The Howe's

Erik (you're off the hook!)

Scott

Steven



We realize you are busy, so wives, if you wouldn't mind typing up a quick history on your family and sending it off to Virginia at this email , 1498familyhistory@sfcn.org that would be great. And ask them to share any memories they might have of Nana and Poppop.



Or better yet, put it in the comments section of this blog while I have you here.



This is a big undertaking for Virginia. We would hate for the other Nielsen families to show us up. Let's get a 100% response on this! Thanks!

End of lecture.

Thanks Vanessa - great job - could not of said it better myself.

Erik's sweet wife Mirjam sent me

So that is one less name on THE LIST
