Family News
From Lanny Booth:
Though we never attend (or expect to being in Texas) the reunions, I’ll tell you that my mother, Geraldine Howell Booth, passed away on 8/3/21. She was 91. She was married to W.L. (Dub) Booth, whose father was C.T (Tip), whose father was B.L. (the one who came to Texas) whose father was Benjamin A. Booth, who was married to Caroline A. Andrew (the connection). I remember when I was a kid, my parents were chuckling about a letter from the Booths in CT, asking if their generation had any boys because the name was dying out in CT. My dad’s generation had NOTHING but boys (8). Have a great reunion. (April 12, 2022).
From Siga Andrew:
News form our end — our youngest, Sofija, graduated (will graduate 5/5) from University of Colorado Boulder with a degree in Environmental Design focusing on architecture, a minor in Technology, Arts and Media; and a minor in Spanish. Our oldest, Sidney, graduated at the start of the pandemic with a double major of accounting and finance; currently working as an accountant for a Denver-based company. Rob and Siga are empty nesters hoping that the “birds” stay close to the nest!
From Tolan Halstead:
Back on October 18th, I closed on my first house! So I moved out of my Dad's house and now live in Central Manchester, CT. Also, my new truck finally came in on May 12th after a 7 month wait!
Along with the truck, I picked up my new puppy, Persephone (aka Percy), two days later! She's a beautiful Goldendoodle with cream colored fur except on her ears and paws where she is darker. My sisters, Delanie and Jeralyn, got puppies of their own from the same litter as Percy.
