During his childhood, cousin Chris fell or jumped into scores of lakes, rivers and cricks. The more dressed up he was, the more likely he was to take a spectacular plunge, usually right in the middle of a visit by some important guests his parents were trying to impress, such as a U.S. Army colonel or key county commissioner. Here he prepared to jump fully dressed into the drink during a mid-1960s vacation in Austria with the Millers' friends Erwin, Ruth and Tomas Menje. Looks like Tomas was about to jump in, too. Note cousin Chatsie in the cool shades, nonchalantly trying to look like a tourist unassociated with this bunch.
We've always liked this photo of cousin Chris in a boat being rowed by Uncle Bill, foreground. We have a strong memory of Chris falling into this German lake too, but cannot remember its name.
