The tribe gathered in Scottsdale yesterday. The relatives gathered from West Virginia, where the clan started, others came from the D.C. area, from Idaho, and of course Arizona. Way back when the old folks came from Ireland, Germany, England, and who knows where. Next Saturday there will be yet another gathering in Cottonwood. There are so many of us a lot of the cousins are just meeting for the first time. Since Kadizzle comes from a family of nine the roots go every which way. Of the nine almost everyone had two children. So now there were 16 total off spring. Most of them produced a child or two. That gets us somewhere near 32.
The trends that run strong in the family are investment people, lawyers, and mining and construction type people. Of course there is a strong art contingent. Of the whole band only a couple flamed out.
The current generation of worker bees somehow or other are in the computer type jobs.
Of the original nine we have traveled a good part of the world. Not but one person was in the military Kadizzle can think of. Forgot to mention there are a lot of writers in the family. Someone needs to make a road map of who is in the gang. Kadizzle is old and his mind has turned to oatmeal so he cannot keep track of who belongs to who.
