CUSTER FAMILY REUNION 2006
"For the sons become the fathers,
and the daughters will be wives,
as the torch is passed from hand to hand
and we struggle through our lives.
Though the generations wonder,
the lineage survives.
And all of us from dust to dust
will all become forefathers
by and by.."
Dan Fogelberg
