Paul Krook married my mother’s cousin Sylvia Somero. We used to go visit them in the 50s and 60s when they had kids but theirs were all boys and my sister and I didn’t know what to propose as mutual activities.

No structure, no rules imposed on us as kids. Just be polite, go outdoors, and figure it out. We did this for hours.
