Dearest Partner belongs to the Clouds, a Chester County clan that traces its lineage back to colonial days. This year they gathered at the East Goshen Township Park for their 137th annual summer reunion.
During the business meeting, one family member idly wondered whether anyone had attended the majority of the reunions. I thought that was unlikely, but an elderly gentleman immediately raised his hand. He said, with a measure of pride, that he was 86 years old and had been at 84 of the gatherings; the two he missed were (1) because he was in the Army and (2) because his wife was ill.
