Talking to cousins

June 4, 2008 | Ancestry

I have talked to Larry McLure, first cousin who lives in Bonaire, Georgia, son of Frank McLure.  His mother, Ann, just died.  I just talked to Ellen McLure tonight, daughter of Buck.  Her mother, Ruth, died in 2004, and I have already done the baptism and initiatory for her, and her sister, Cherry died last year of Cancer.  Ellen is so sad, because the double tragedy has almost been more than she can bear.  Their brother, Howard, is CEO of something huge, and he’s worth about 11 million.  He’s very humble and modest, but his worth is public consumption, found somewhere in the Forbes Magazine.  I knew he had some money, when he lived in B’ham, because he lived in Mountain Brook, but I never dreamed it was so huge.  Ruth didn’t tell me.

Howard McLure

Howard was born in the little house on Cherry Avenue, where my parents lived for three years, and where my brother died.
