Summer continues.

I received word yesterday via a letter in a package of family relics that another of my first cousins past away last month. James Albert Boyd, Jim was 80. We only became acquainted about 20 years ago. It was at a family reunion where our love of family history connected us. Over the years we had long conversations at reunions, on phone calls, and via email.

It’s been a rough couple of years to be first cousins in our family. The number of first cousins was 27. Never were all 27 alive at one time. Our births were spread over 5 decades. The first in 1923, the last in 1960. Ten of us remain.

Rest in peace Jim.

James Albert Boyd
