[Ipg-smz] So bummed

Easy to do, Mac.  Think of a pyramid where your common relative is at the top. One level down are siblings. Next level down are first cousins. If you are on the first cousin level and someone else is the child of a first cousin, they are first cousins once removed. Your child and that child will be on the same level – second cousins.  And so it goes.

 

Here’s where it gets interesting. Your relationship to you wife’s cousin’s great-grandmother is:  Those damned in-laws.

 

Got it?

Death, taxes and lost data. 

Guess which has occurred.

You actually understand the 'once removed' business?!?

And my cousin’s first major gig. (Well my mother’s first cousin.)

So sad about Peter Tork. I never knew that Stephen Stills had been turned down for the Monkees. I used to love CS&Y (and CSN&Y).

 

I just heard a fun story about Peter Tork from a cousin of mine, who grew up near his home town in Connecticut. My cousin's father owned a store near there, and Peter's parents were customers of his. Mr. and Mrs. Thorkelson (Peter's parents) used to complain to her dad about girls hiding out in the bushes outside their house in hopes of catching a glimpse of Peter.
