Marjorie Jean Harnish Comin

We thought we would dedicate our post to our Mom, Grandma, and Great Grandma, Marjorie Jean Comin, since May is the month for honoring our mothers.  We are posting several pictures of Jean (I don’t know what else to call her to avoid confusing people!) and also, Van and Wendy did and interview with Jean in about 2001 covering her childhood through high school or so.  I have compiled a very rough and disjointed history covering Jean and Ed’s dating years to the present with many random thoughts thrown in.  We really should complete Jean’s life history.   She can’t remember much now,  so I thought if we all contribute what we remember ourselves or from stories told when memories were sharper we can get this done together.    

Please post your favorite memory of Grandma Jean on the blog for everyone to enjoy.  

We want your input to the life history (additional details, as well as corrections to what we already have) and also favorite memories of Grandma Jean (perhaps in more detail than in the blog comments)– Either leave a comment or please email your memories to cominfamilynews@gmail.com.  Please submit everything by August 5, 2012 and then we will complete the history by Jean’s birthday Dec. 23, 2012.  I know there are many  talented family members out there who can help us make this an awesome life history for Jean and all of us to enjoy.
