Fun family fact: this guy was my wife’s cousin. Her family lived nearby on Long Island, and her mom and grandmother always were strict with the family about not having anything to do with them. Even going by the house was “forbidden” (as much as anything can be in an old Italian family). Of course that’s the first thing I did when we started dating, lol. (Respectfully of course, I just drove down the street to say that I had. There was no gawking.)

    My great (some more greats) uncle is Alferd Packer, known also as “The Colorado Cannibal”. There’s a musical about him and the University of Colorado Boulder has a memorial grill named after him.

        That’s the one! I’ve yet to actually see it, but have plans to watch it with some friends in the next month or so. Quite excited, it’s long overdue.
