| Still Rambling |
My family owns several businesses in the cities of Fontaine, Oxford, and Freling. If my uncle has his way, we will be in Hearne and New Haverd. My uncle, the family patriarch, is very ambitious. As a matter of fact, all of the men are. My cousin, Misty and I are the only two women of the family that have the same ambition as the men of the family.
Most of us, don't want to leave Oxford just yet. Most of my family lives there or in Fontaine. A few of us live in Freling.
There are a bunch of us.
My grandmother and grandfather had 12 children. Those 12 children had 84 children. I don't even know how many 2nd and 3rd cousins I have. It's a bunch of them.
My Grandparents: Alfred (96) & Eva (88) White
Their Children:
- Terrance White (Family patriarch)
- Arthur White
- Frank White
- Helen White-Barnes
- Karen White-Murphy
- Linda White-Andrews
- Shirley White-Henley
- Jackie White-Vaughnn
- Isaiah White
- Michael White
- Alberta White-Scott
- Tommy White (My father)
My father is the odd ball. He got married in his 30s and he only has 3 children. The next lowest number is 5. On top of that, none of his children are married. Almost everyone else's children are married and have children.
Oddly, enough, the married people in the family have only had one marriage. No one has had any children born out of wedlock. In my family, we stay married. It's pretty cool in my family. No one has been to jail. Everyone does relatively well in school (at least a 78 or better). Everyone born after 1955 has went to college and graduated. We all have to go to college. That is a family requirement. After college, we have to go work in one of the family businesses. We have so many businesses in the family that you can find something that you like. I think like only 7 people don't work in the family business. They are teachers and pastors.
Why do we have someone with a degree in almost every field?
MariBeth always messes with me about my family. She always says, "You gotta be too good in your family. She doesn't know how right she is.
I guess I am through rambling now.Labels: 2006 |
