More DescriptionThis book is a compilation of stories my brother shared with me ten years ago after an amazing reunion with his family in Las Vegas. I had not seen or spoken to him in way too many years. I left my visit in Vegas committed to getting to know my oldest brother who had made a vow to our mother that he would keep us connected after her passing. We started to communicate daily, by sending emails. Then responding throughout the day to the emails sent to him by his daughters in Washington and Michigan. He called his group the posse. For awhile I followed their thread responding to their playful banter. My brother called himself Fuzz, his oldest daughter was named Cupcake, his middle daughter was called Slippers and his youngest was initially called Kimby. Fuzz throughout the years has added personas, that today, are too many to list. His youngest seems to have followed in his shoes and has made a similar persona morphing process. His wife of 35 years is currently known as Toasty. She too has silently morphed during this time and is capable of outwitting us all.Remind you, this was long before Facebook or Twitter or any other popular social media site came into vogue. At the time of the development of this book there has been over 35,000 posse droppings (daily emails) stored in the vault known as a flash drive, waiting too be organized and published into a book in the future. James L. Whitmer to his credit has a teaching career in his past where he mentored many young minds in a small Western Michigan community. He is a Hall of Fame Golfer and an avid historian. He and his middle daughter have successfully published a detailed genealogy of the Whitmer Family and will be publishing a detailed genealogy of the Gen's Family. He is best at torturing his 8 siblings across America and is grandpa to six talented grandchildren.
