The 3 C's (Connie's Converge on Connecticut)

The way Americans like to name their kids, if you didn't already know, is to make everyones name the same. Think George Bush and George Bush, and you'll start to get the picture. My father is the 4th in a line of William's. So now, having returned to my 'homeland', it's time for me to get with some of my own (not literally, of course - we stopped all that least 2 generations ago). Meet my namesake (the older one) and my aunt - all named Connie. Never before have all 3 been together in one place. Pretty special, in an American soap opera kind of way. This was taken at the last ever Pine Point reunion, at the Anthes' homestead in Connecticut.
