Reunion Trivial Pursuit

In keeping with a tradition of family story-telling, the reunion will feature a trivia review (contest!) of fondly remembered anecdotes. I recently sent an email to those on the reunion chain email list so this is just a reminder or, if not on that list, an invitation to participate even if you are not attending the reunion.  The more stories we have the better the experience and even if you can't come, everyone who participates or is on the email chain, will get a copy of the individual submissions.

No generation will be ignored, Dad & Mom, grandparents, siblings and in-laws, cousins, nieces, nephews and grandchildren.  Please email all anecdotes to me (rohanrj@juno.com) and I will curate and present at the reunion event. 

Love to all,
Bob

Snow

 Dear Family,

Went snowboarding with Mark a couple weeks ago. Had so much fun! The backdrop of the Rocky Mountain range every day was pure joy! My skills at snowboarding are past bunny slope but need some work... Next time I am planning to work harder to go a bit faster and bend my knees more. I was told by M that I look like a scarecrow going down the slope. After watching the numerous videos he took I have to say he is spot on! His observations always prove to be spot on in addition to being really funny. Who doesn't love to laugh at oneself!

The highlight of the trip was fulfilling my mission to see if I could find the gravesite where James L Rohan was buried. Through my research of late on our family tree I discovered that it is in Green Mountain Cemetery plot B6. It took us 2 trips (on way in to Keystone, and on way back to Denver) to find it. Had to call the office to get help with  the map. It was amazing to me to connect with an ancestor. James L is buried next to wife, Sarah. James L is brother to Frank Rohan, who is Laurence B Rohan Sr's (Granddad).

father, which would be grandad's uncle. Look forward to collaboration on our family tree if anyone is interested. Maybe at reunion we can play around with it.

Love you all. Rosanne

PS-oh yeah Green Mountain Cemetery is in Boulder 303-444-5695, 290 20th St.

And if you want to enjoy the best ever Blueberry Cornbread you should visit Walnut Cafe in Boulder.

Cheers!
