We met the Everson family at Buck & Honeys in Monona for lunch while on our Madison trip. The five of us met with seven from the Knute & Ida Everson side enjoying the most delightful group of newly found relatives we could hope for at two hour lunch. After lunch we moved outside in the marvelous Madison sunshine that brought us, again, some great camaraderie.

Judy, Sara and I had met Karen in April in Kansas City and Sara, Sally, Sue, Dan and i met Mary Jo in June in DC. Everyone else we were greeting for the first time and it was absolutely perfect as perfect can be. More about everyone in the segment series.

Jim and Bob Everson were what a guy would most desire in brothers if he had a choice and in this case I did. Love those guys, easy to talk to and seemed to be open to this guy who recently appeared on the scene as surprise to everyone. I will no trouble with Jim and Bob as long as I’m a Packer fan and can talk golf. I will certainly be a U of Wisconsin sports fan as long as they are not playing Iowa.
