Family Reunion: I stood tall in a room full of short people

One thing I liked about the past weekend’s family reunion in Bracebridge - I looked tall when standing alongside my family members.

Another; there was only one kind of potato salad, evidence we can still get creative as we age. But that’s another story.


At 5 ft., 5.5 in. tall, I towered over everyone (relatively speaking) but my younger brother, who took after Grandpa Catton and not the dwarfish side of our family.

I’ve always liked reunions and will attend as many as possible until I can no longer make the drive north. Maybe my oldest son would drive me then; he’s pretty short; he might like the mental boost.
