I have a fantastic family history on both sides of my family. They are described in this section. As I spent time digging into these family backgrounds, more and more informatin excited me as I searched historical records both in this country and abroad.
Even today, as I deal with routine tasks, I find new and exciting things about the family history. For example, today, Monday April 14, 2008, I was on the phont with Jorge de la Guardia in Panama. Jorge is the Chief of Lock Constructin for the Panama Canal Authority and will be in charge during the coming expansion of the Panama Canal. This expansion will allow for new and bigger ships to transit the Canal.
I have been asked to be the keynote speaker for the reunion of the Panama Canal Society in Orlando, Florida in July 2008. One of the talks I will be giving to this group will be on the expansion of the Panama Canal. Jorge de la Guardia just filled me in with details of that expansion today. Then I find that he is a distant cousin, a member of the family that I belong to as well. Small world! |
