This is a work in progress...Thanksk Jan and Diane. This is a work in progress and not yet the most organized. But for the moment it needs to be in small pieces and I'm following suggestions from kids and cousins on what to post. I hope over this next year (before our reunion next summer, are you coming?) to flesh out our family history and have lots to share in some kind of book format next summer. A lofty goal...hoping I can find the time to do that for us all. You can be sure your stories like those above will be part of our history.<br />By the way, I have met you - I believe it was Gerry's wedding in 1964. Jan and I hung out a lot together (same age - well, almost, I'm one day older than Jan) and I remember us getting ready at Grandma's house. It's the only time I can remember us being together....But I remember liking you all....Retired Travellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06968835192707057489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806582412915728448.post-22898942376565945972013-09-01T12:52:38.369-07:002013-09-01T12:52:38.369-07:00Yes, ditto Dianne.

Our Grandmother (Nano) surely left a legacy of a lively mind, writing, and true grit for us. I always remember Mom saying something like, "My mother always....." when she was imparting something to us. Like "always sang this, or sewed this way, or made us go to the dictionary, or was always learning" and she made sure we did too. I think I met her only 2 or 3 times, but she did come out to my (first) wedding, which I thought was a pretty good thing to do for my mom. <br />Thanks again for keeping it going.l...Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863223494759205409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806582412915728448.post-17410245199155765962013-09-01T10:39:24.658-07:002013-09-01T10:39:24.658-07:00Lynn I love what you've done.

Since we have always lived "out West" none of us really got to know most of the Sullivan Family well, nor our grandmother, who we called Nano. I don't know where that name came from...probably Mom. :) I've already learned so much by reading this, not the least of which is the correct spelling of Bednorz. We always knew it as Bednarz. Everything that Aunt Pat said I was pretty much aware of since Mom told us the same things. Mom did speak of her father as well. He was an alcoholic yes, & sadly actually did pilfer (steal) money that his kids had earned. Mom said they were more fortunate than most during the Depression because he actually always had a job, tho' how much he contributed to the household is debatable. Where can I find Aunt Toots' biography? She is one I did know. What a special lady. Aunt Bink was my "other mother". I miss her very much. She lived a little over an hour from me for over 40 years. I was saddened when Greg moved her to TN, but he felt he needed to do that to care for her. Can't fault him for that, though she was very unhappy there for most of the time she was there. I'm looking forward to learning more about the Sullivan Clan.
