MY OLDER COUSIN LOUIS

CELEBRATES THE BIG 80!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Recently family and friends met in St Charles to help Louis celebrate his eightieth birthday. I realize he looks like my twin but I am no were close to 80 by my math.

Our story of finally meeting is way to long for a slow typist so I will give you the short version. I never knew Louis existed until some time in 1999. When he walked in to the Bevo Mill Nancy said it had to be a Tritschler. My six year old granddaughter loves to look at pictures and she always calls out grandpa when she sees a picture of Louis.

In the first photo we feature Louis and the present his younger sister Carol gave him.[it was all in fun]

Tomorrow we will feature more birthday pictures and another short story on new beginnings of an old friendship.

We did not make him blow out 80 candles.
