My Grandfather

My father Ferenc "son" with my grandfather Fernec and family, back in the old country.

I've just discovered there's a Wikipedia article on my grandfather, who was a painter. It's a strange feeling to learn more about my grandparents from an internet article than from my family. I had no idea he was such an established artist back in Hungary.

It's another reminder to me to not lose connections with the family I've got. I have so many cool nephews and nieces around my age, and I only keep touch with them sporatically. Just the other day I received a great email from my niece in Texas, I haven't talked to her in years. From her email, I got the sense if we lived closer to each other we'd be hanging out.
