Today, through the magic of the internet, I learned about a distant, distant relative of mine who was born in the late 1800's in Lapeer, MI. Apparently, during the 1920's and 30's, he was president of the University of Rhode Island, the University of Maryland, and Michigan State University (what's more, his grandfather helped found Michigan State). Each university named a dorm after him, and the U.S. government went so far as to name a naval ship after him. Who knew. No one, actually. But then I discovered how to use the internet, and now everyone will know.

It sure explains why you are so talented! Now, what will YOU do with good genetic heritage?
Jabron.
And what, may I ask, was his name?
His name is Rosebud...
His name is Max...
interesting, so we're kind of a big deal.
You were a big deal anyway!
But didn't you read about the scandal? He was later found to be a holstein with a penchant for disguises...still, he was found to be outstanding in his field.
Love, Moom
Hi Max...this is your Grandma Mckee. We are looking forward to your return to the farm or somewhere in Michigan. We will talk heritage in detail at that time. I would like to know more about the Wilsie side of your linage.
