OT - My wife's family had a state champion

[Mark Padgett]

Continuing along off topic - my wife's research has also found she is descended, on her mother's side, from Stephen Randall, who was the commander of the Minute Men during the American revolution! Another one of her ancestors ran a stopping point on the underground railroad during the American civil war.

Quite a history of which to be proud.

On the other hand, my most famous ancestors were my maternal grandfather, who worked for Al Capone and my maternal great-grandmother who was a madame in a bordello. Oh yeah, I also have a cousin who has been in and out of prison his whole adult life for fencing jewelry. Not kidding.

However, the absolute worst is probably my cousin Bobby, who is a lawyer!

Couldn't Bobby keep your other cousin out of prison?

Maybe Bobby doesn't like the other cousin. In any case, my sympathies, Mark, on having a weasel in the family tree.
