The Oxnard Cousins

On our Honeymoon in September 1973 the two of us visited Karen’s Great Aunt Jo on her 70th Birthday at her home in Oxnard, California. That day 43 years and 9 days ago, we met her daughter Joanna. We’ve stayed in touch through the years, through Christmas cards and occasional phone calls. Today she welcomed us to her new home in Camarillo, near her longtime home of Oxnard, where we visited with her brother, Dal, his wife, Lois, and Joanna’s husband, Howard. Karen’s Dad and his family lived on a farm in Ohio with Joanna, Dal, and their family in the late 1930’s. We enjoyed tales from that era and spent some exceedingly pleasant hours catching up on each other’s lives. Oh, that the visit could have been longer, but it’s good to know that we will continue to stay in touch!
