Justin time:

Justin Geiman shows up at our doorstep

(Waukesha WI 8-3-10) We were delighted to visit with nephew Justin, son of Dee's sister Donna, last evening ahead of his boarding a morning flight back to his home in Pleasant Valley MD.

Justin had spent a few days near Shebogan WI with a team from the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, regarding his job as an ATF special agent. The job takes him all over the US in investigations, and this time he was sent to WI, which gave us a chance to get together.

Justin is a member of what the SRN considers an heroic family, consisting of - among many other things -several firefighters, professional and volunteer. Dee's dad is a retired PV volunteer fire chief. This editor is only related to them by marriage but feels their strong and embracing arms.

When I first met this family, including Justin and brother Luke, it was 1982. They were little boys, like the little boys they now raise. (See Lee's vimeo on TIME on his blog. http://leezor.blogspot.com/)




Dee and Justin enjoy an ice cream sundae here, with fresh blackberries from Mike and Bonnie Camp's. The 'offending' string is from our prayer gong, still is use, rung over the years by our own children, Erin and Lee.

The below photos were taken at Pleasant Valley on the occasion of John and Jean Means 60th anniversary last October.

People often confuse Dee and Donna......




Where Justin returns after his investigative sorties. His family has kind of outgrown the small Airstream 'Bambi' trailer.

By now, Justin should be home.

Great 2 c u !!! THANKS
