My family in West Virginia is due to my cousin Sue Rhoden.  She passed
away several years ago and this is her husband Darrell and their children.
She had 5 boys before she finally got that GIRL....Megan in whom
is so much like her mom. My mom and I had a wonderful trip out to see
them a couple of weeks ago and I'm ready to go again maybe in a couple
of years when I can drag DJ out there too !
