Happy Birthday to two of the cousins!

If we're not mistaken, today and yesterday were cousin Sandy and Joe's birthdays. Happy Everything to them! Here are some photos from their youth. In some of the photos you may notice other cousins. Pay no attention to them! It is not their birthdays! Cousin Joe ate some delicious cake and drank some healthy milk at the Millers' in the late 1960s. Those other people look familiar, but we can't quite place them. Cousin Joe, ever philosophical, pondered life at a family reunion in the 1960s. Joe is now a geologist, plant foreman and pilot. That's cousin Sandra on the right at a Stump-in in the 1970s. Sandy set the standard for the other Lake City cousins by being tops in her class and extremely popular. The scrapblog editor liked to identify herself as "Sandy Kirkwood's cousin" during those years. Whenever she uttered those magic words, doors would open, smiles would spread across faces, bon-bons would appear out of nowhere, Mr. Selleseth would genuflect, Mr. Stengel would say by golly, Mr. Ruberto would get misty-eyed, etc., etc. Sandy set the fashion standard, too. That's her in the middle in chiffon and posies, attended by cousins Cindi and Janie.
