MY GRANDMA:
This is my Grandma Billie Derrickson. I loved going to Indiana as a child and spending summers to my Grandparents lake cottage. My Grandma would make us macaroni and cheese and grilled cheese sandwiches (something we never got at home). Grandpa would buy a whole tub of vanilla ice cream and Hershey's topping and we would pig out.
When I was young the family would go to the lake and I remember evenings spent chasing firefly's and playing Aggravation with a homemade board with my Grandpa's Aunt Nell. We skied on the lake and swam for hours. I learned to sail on the lake. I have such great memories of that place!!
Grandma Billie came to visit us each year from 1999 to 2002 (since my Grandpa died in 1998); however, she declared she will not fly again so we try and to go to see her each summer.
AUNT WANDA AND UNCLE MARTIN:
This is my mom's Aunt Wanda. We have always just called her our Aunt as well. My mom's mom died when I was about 3 years old and I don't remember her. Aunt Wanda stepped in to fill her shoes and she became my substitute Grandma. She, and her family, have always been so kind and generous to me and my sister all our lives.
AUNT JULIE:
My father's sister Julie came to live in CO when I was a teenager. Julie always seemed more like another sister than an Aunt because she is only 6 years older than me. When my Grandmother came to visit Julie and I always overlapped our vacation time and made sure we had lots to do to entertain her.
Julie lives on the South side of Colorado Springs in a condominum and she works at Atmel.


UNCLE JEFF:
My father's youngest brother Jeff lives in Indiana in the Lake Cottage. Jeff has four children. Jaya recently moved to FL, Chandra lives in TX with her mother Lisa. Alysen and Erin live in FL with their mother Kathy.
UNCLE MIKE:
My father's oldest brother Mike lives in California. Mike has no children. He is very interested in the family genealogy.
