Family
Reunion
Roughly 6
months ago, I talked with my sister, Beverly, about another family reunion
since we did not have one last year. We also wanted to make sure that we would
attend a University of Michigan football game as part of our weekend of family
festivities. We consulted with Cousin Shelly and decided to attend the
University of Michigan and Penn State game on November 3. Incidentally, two
years ago, during our weekend reunion, we witnessed Michigan conquering Penn State 49 to 13.
As part of
our Detroit family tradition, Linda and I played pickle ball at the Salter Recreation
Center in Royal Oak. After a few hours of pickle ball, Bev joined us at our
hotel. She couldn’t play pickle ball with us, since she had undergone cataract
surgery the preceding Monday. Later that Friday evening, we had dinner at a Middle
Eastern restaurant joined by cousins Shelly, Richard, Judy, Steven, Roger,
Margie, Barry and daughter Hannah.
On Saturday,
Linda, Bev, Shelly and I drove to Ann Arbor to meet cousins, Rick and Barbara for
brunch before the game. Then we all headed for the Big House. Linda, Bev and
Shelly were picked up by Marty Betts and chauffeured to the game. I met them
all at the M Fan tailgate and hooked up with Jim Betts, Pres. of the M Fan
football alumni club. Jim procured game tickets, and we were delighted to be near
the 35 yard line close to the field in Section 25, Row 67. Wolverines led 14 to
0 going into halftime. During halftime, the two university bands put on a
wonderful display highlighting a dragon formation while playing and marching to
the Game of Thrones music.
