They had a reunion and over 700 of the closest relative signed the guest book. They seemed to be married into every other large French Canadian family in this area. The other side of his wife's family is also very large. I learned long ago not to discuss them or family members in any of the little towns around here , invariably you would be speaking to a relative.Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14612596.post-64820968719439212952008-07-07T13:42:00.000-04:002008-07-07T13:42:00.000-04:00I can't even begin to imagine 18!I can't even begin to imagine 18!Maude Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03669688074743095866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14612596.post-33703312168504664302008-07-06T17:56:00.000-04:002008-07-06T17:56:00.000-04:00I come from a very close family.

BTW, 18 is traditionally a very auspicious number because in Hebrew the letter chet = 10 and yod = 8, and chet yod spell chai.
