The Next Generation

Today Melody's brother and sister-in-law arrived for a visit . They are visiting from Ottumwa, Iowa.
Here he is with there Dad. Thirty years ago Melody's Dad wrote a book titled A Laugh and a Tear. It was his story from childhood in the 1930's in Holland to moving to Canada in 1956. It continued up until 1989.
Now John has written Another Laugh and Another Tear. It is his story from his birth in 1959 up to the present day.
It was nice to get the two of them together with their books
