Going down memory lane...the first time I met most of this Krisher gang was when we were on our honeymoon...we came to Wisconsin and met a good portion of the Krisher relation. We spent a couple nights in Uncle Alvin and Aunt Marjorie's home. At the time Conrad was living with them.

While we lived in the Medford and Dorchester area we spent a lot of time with Uncle Chester and Aunt Erna. U Chester came over to the farm and helped with the haying on several occasions.

Aunt Erna was a good source of information of the family tree...some of which I did have written down but lost it in the fire. She had a lot of old pictures that I was able to copy.

We did get to meet with them on Wednesday evenings when we lived in the Dorchester area.

Lots of memories...like to hear what Kara and Alicia remember...a different perspective from a child's point of view.

Thankful for their faithfulness in their lives....want to be faithful to those coming behind.
