Do you have a "Cousin Eddie" in your family?

Probably me

My sister is the only normal one. The rest of us on my mom’s side are or were political activists (Grandpa ran for Parliament in the fifties), artists (Mom painted in oils and did theatre), poets (my sister Jan), musicians (lots of musicians–my aunt won a scholarship to the Royal Conservatory of Music), sports people (my great grandfather and his brothers were semi-famous cricketers)… and then there’s my sister. Sensible, feet on the ground, actually goes to church (and not just for the music like my aunt), served as Power of Attorney and then executor of the estate for my dad. She’s the white sheep of the family. :slight_smile:

My dad’s side… lots of police officers. Many of them lived in Germany when I was young, so we didn’t know them nearly as well. I think we were the oddballs on that side.
