COUSINS CORNER
This blog was created as a central place to post memories shared on Facebook as part of our COUSINS CORNER postings; a great idea created by Cousin Christopher Beauman, who lives on the Isle of Man. Posted below are a few of the photos posted in Facebook. The problem with FB is that the photos all too soon get buried long before everyone gets an opportunity to view them. If you have photos you feel of relevant to COUSINS CORNER, and would like them posted on this Cousins' blog feel free to email them to me at johnbeauman2@aol.com with a description.
When each of these photos were posted on Facebook, we played a guessing game: "name those in the photo!" I think it was fun and, for us older cousins, it refreshed our memories, and for the younger cousins (and next generation) it introduced family members they may never have met. The photos are numbered to make identification easier. So, for those that may not have seen these photos on Facebook, let the guessing games begin yet again...

For many of us, this is a walk down memory lane. For our younger cousins, it is an introduction to the family!
But, after a while, we will add names to each photo, but, for now, let the guessing games begin.
