Cousins Then & Now


We six were great chums growing up on Park Point in Duluth, MN. Butch (Ruben Jr.) was the oldest, then me, the twins, Howard & Harry, then Nancy, and then Rod. Our moms, Phyllis & Lois, made sure we had lots of beach time, birthdays, and holidays together. Fast forward nearly 60 years as we gathered at a picturesque cemetery in Heber Springs, AR to lay Butch, Nan, & Rod's mom and our Aunt Lois to rest. Just two years after our mom, Phyllis went to heaven. We've all lived full lives and haven't seen each other much over the years, but it was good to be together for a brief time and reconnect before going our separate ways again.
