Tornado Alley (PROG)

[newmedman]

I'll admit to not knowing a bunch of that but my father's side of the family were all successful. I have a cousin who was a vice president for Caterpillar and is filthy rich. He's just a consultant now but almost everyone but my dad turned out really well in a family of, get this, twelve kids. I used to go meet everyone when I was young but me and pops had a serious falling out later on.

It was his sister (my aunt) that actually kept in touch with me and told me our family history. She and my mom didn't get along so after my dad and her split up they stopped staying in touch. My aunt was the one who got my college buddy his first and only job that he's been at forever now. She's retired and all of my uncles are all dead. I always wanted to be part of the team but my old man turned out to be such a prick that I lost it all. My sister still stays in touch with the cousins but her stories are not anything I need to hear. We have our own problems too so it makes it hard to go back in time...

My folks were not funny. They are devout baptists who go to the lengths of no drinking and no dancing. I could go on but basically they think nobody should have any fun in the name of Jesus. I am not a subscriber to that idea so I just excluded myself. I could have been wrong but I also saw the hypocrisy that went along with it and I cut ties.

but yeah, my actual grandpa who died before I was born flew for the german air force and that's where I came from after he escaped to america.
