Oct 22, 2007The second day in El Reno, I received a call from Steve Lee Smythe. He is my 2ND cousin once removed. My Family Tree Maker figured that out for me. His Great grandfather and my grandfather were brothers. And interesting enough, the brothers married Thomas sisters. Isn't research interesting... He has a website SMYTH(E)/THOMAS/BRIDGES / ALLIED FAMILIES. That is how we made contact, through the website.
I had sent him a picture to post on the website and he was calling to ask me a question. When we determined he was only about 25 miles from where we were, we drove over during his lunch break at 9:00 pm. We were there until midnight. It was a very pleasant visit and I learned more about the relatives :-))). He is also a country western singer and gave me three CD's. He is very good. He plays at the senior center and small groups. He is a respiratory therapist at the Baptist Medical Center in Oklahoma City. We had a sandwich at the cafeteria in the Hospital. It stays open 24 hours. Good food too.
Just never know when a new adventure will appear.
