A few LIFE folk who were in town popped by the next day after meeting for lunch, and I packed for my departure the following day. Took the train to Providence on a misty Sunday.
And immediately upon arrival was whisked off by Hannah and my sister and family to see a passel of Dowling cousins I hadn't seen —well, some, ever, and some in years. Note, the toddler twins are in the same generation as my nieces (pictured) and my daughter, and a generation earlier (? not sure how to elucidate this—first cousins once removed?) than my grandchildren, 8 and 11 (pictured).
The twins' father, my first cousin Ed, kept having to dodge out to call Russia, as chairman of the board of a mining company shutting down operations in Russia due to the Ukraine invasion. I didn't know that his brother (and my cousin) Tom and wife would also be in Massachussetts. So it was a big old family reunion.
Awesome!
