Sandy sent us these pictures of her family out in California. Sandy is the daughter of Joe and Teresa Graf, cousin to Peg, Mark, Criss, and Chuck, and 1st cousin once removed to James.

As a kid I remember going camping with Sandy and her family (Uncle Joe, Aunt Terese, Terry, Sandy, and Joey, aka little Joe). They had a big trailer that had all the comforts of home in it, including a TV (nowadays you have TV’s on your phone but in the 70’s it was pretty cool) which I remember watching Tiger baseball games. We camped at Silver Lake and Proud Lake if I remember correctly and my folks would come up for a day to check on me and spend some time with the family. Mark was usually up there as well and sometimes I camped with him. Usually the campsites (Marks and Uncle Joe’s) were right next to each other so it didn’t really matter who you stayed with.
