Cousin Leona

(From Virginia)

Hello to the missing cousins at Monday night's gathering. Sorry things did not work out for you. This is Leona and Brad Lasher - from Vancouver, WA. Leona is the daughter of our uncle Alan - one of the triplets. Leona is a radiographer - loves to take those mammogram photos! Brad is a pilot for Delta - loves those flights to Maui. They are a delightful couple, keen sense of humor, and very adventuresome on their many bike trips around the western states. We were pleased to meet them and hope they can return to the big family reunion in May on Memorial Day weekend. Plan to be there!!

Ready to head down the hwy - Rt 6 to Southern Utah for a look at the wonderful canyons.

Leona is the daughter of Alan - one of the triplets. Even though she is my 1st cousin - she is closer in age to most of her 2nd cousins - as she is turning 46 in Oct.I think you will enjoy meeting her and her husband - who are pretty gutsy to be taking a road trip by motorcycle!!!She is looking forward to meeting as many of you as she can.
