My Cousin Harvey...once removed!

www.huffingtonpost.com

We really never got to know each other well, except in our writings.   I can't compare this college professor to my 'thoughts' but that is how we keep in touch.

If we were to meet on the street...would we pass each other without recognition.   Possibly!   I'm ten years older and he has traveled the world over and seems to know someone wherever he goes.

He has done an interesting family tree on my father's side...and he has traveled many oceans to meet his cousins and other family members.   

Harvey is very honest and political in his writings and I think he might have been a wonderful ghost writer for anyone of our presidents.    He and his wife Carmen came to visit me two years ago and had wonderful conversation about his traveling.

I'm the opposite...my comfort zone is right in my own home...and I'm delighted to visit all over the world on National Geographic or the Travel Channel.

Harvey wrote 'We Can Gather Together'...and I felt loaded with pride when I absorbed his wise words.

I'm delighted that Harvey is in my family tree.   His mother, my first cousin, would have been so proud of him....so I'm speaking for her.  If Harvey lived closer than California, I'm sure he could give me great pointers to improve my writing skills...but it is what is is!
