What a great extended family, and will it help to say..you have all those memories? Amazing that they could continue on for so many years! I know that feeling of yor first job...mine was working at a Burger Chef in Lansing, Mi during high school...we were all like family, the boss even said I had to not work so many hours...at my age...I worked my shifts and picked up others that wanted time off...but we all had such fun being together...but sadly, I moved away from there and my family there was gone......Max, you had a great run with them!
