Now we are a family. First the Cowley family at our Wedding in May, 1981.

Here are Loyal Odhner, Don Rose and Karl Alden. Loyal is my grandpa on mom's side. Don Rose is Natalie's Granfather on the Rose side. Karl Alden is the grandfather of two of my sisters-in-law, Bonnie Alden (m. David Cowley 1972) and Gwenda Parker (m. Michael Cowley, c. 1984). These three young men built a tree house and lived in it together before the war...World War I! Don Rose is an Englishman. He had 12 kids. Loyal had only 10. I think Karl had 12 too.
The following picture is the Cowley siblings at Jenny Blair's house in Bryn Athyn, PA at the funeral for Levi Cowley (David and Bonnie's middle child of 6).
Top Row is Jeb Blair, Kevin Cowley, Terry, Malcolm Cowley, Denise Cowley (Grubb), Terry Cowley Caturano.
Sitting: Jenny Cowley Blair, Bonnie Alden Cowley, David Cowley, Michael Cowley with Gwenda Parker Cowley in his lap. Me. Not all the spouses made the funeral, but all 8 kids did.

Here is my family singing Christmas Carols in 2006. From the left: Sam, Nina, Shawn, Elineke, Natalie, Tony with Guitar.
Our Kids have deep family roots. So, there is something to say for big families!
Have a great day,
Tony
