"Connections" is an opportunity to reminisce, remember, and celebrate our stories as children of Hubert and Johanna Beun. It is also a way for the Beun siblings to connect and share the memories of our childhoods with grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. The Invitation (first post) was my original thought for a methodology of collecting and publishing our stories. However, that seems clunky, cumbersome, and challenging. Therefore, I'll simply start a post with a memory or topic and entrust my siblings to add their memories and insights. This becomes an attempt to translate our "oral histories" into a written dialogue as siblings.
