Hawkes from Utah! {July 25, 2009}

Look familiar? No doubt a Hawkes. This is Pete's Dad's brother who came to visit from Utah. Bill is the most likable person, just a red-head version of Pete's Dad (you know what I mean). The more I was around him, the more amazed I was at how much they are alike. They haven't seen each other in 34 YEARS, and hadn't really met either one's family until now. Unbeleivable. There was never a reason for it, other than life gets busy. Everyone enjoyed thier visit, and don't plan on waiting another 34 years for the next one : ) Uncle Bill and his wife Connie have been married for 41 years and have 12 children. You read right, a dozen. As for grandchildren, 21 so far. Wow, did I say they've been busy?
