Merle & Liz Thomas and family
Brother of Chuck
Son of Grandma Day
Family Gathering at "Mudville" in June, 2007
In late June, 2007, we gathered at my brother's farm in West Virginia to celebrate my Mom's
life and prepare for her internment. Merle and Liz were there, Nina and Art and their son Dean and his brand new wife, Holly,
our cousin Mike McKetta, and Karen and I were there. Later we went to the gravesite and buried Mom's ashes alongside Dad. (See
Grandma's life and burial
.)
"Mudville" is the name of the farm my brother Merle and his wife Liz occupy and farm.

Merle is my older brother, and is a university engineering professor and all-around guru; he is probably the smartest guy
I have ever met. He has always been the rock, and we really are grateful to have him as a brother. Liz
is his sweet, sweet wife. They live on a farm in West Virginia, where they apparently raise everything
that Noah could think of. If you want the very best ham, honey, syrup, butter, soap, or any of too many things
to mention, they have it. They are extraordinarilly resourceful people. You'd like them.
One thing: Mom always liked me more.
