Ground Control To Major Tom
Samantha made the trip back to Vermont this year. She's pretty busy these days so it was a big sacrifice. It rained the entire time, and she gave it her all. Way to go, Samantha!
Here she is with Hanley and McKinley Franz. Stay with me now...
Hanley and McKinley belong to Scott and Allison Franz. Allison's my sister Mary's middle daughter. Allison never had the name Stollenwerck because Mary's married name was Hanley. Allison qualifies anyway-she's got Stollenwerck blood coarsing through her veins, name or no name. This is good.
It's interesting Scott and Allison gave Hanley the given name Hanley...sort of a way to keep the surname Hanley alive. Why do I keep thinking Hanley Hanley? Never mind. McKinley's named after the mountain in Alaska because Scott climbed it.
The boys were wild to meet Samantha...she's a cousin (once removed) and a "California Rock Star." They take piano lessons and play a few tunes. They're not bad either.
The prediction was one of two things: they'd get into it or go stoic. Looks like they're having a good time here. How good a time? Their size of their pupils are like flying saucers from Mars...that good a time.
