Hi Nancee - Yes, that is the same Carl Crees.  He is Wendell and my first cousin.  He and Wendell are a lot alike - in looks and personality.  They are exactly the same age - Wendell's birthday is in March 1939 and Carl's is May 1939.  You need to remind me how you are related to the Crees' - I know you have told me but have forgotten.  Yes, we had a great family and a very close family.  Our Grandmother Crees (Anna) just lived two houses down  the street from Wendell and me growing up in Decatur so we always saw our cousins lots as everyone always gathered at Grandma's on Sunday's.  We all have lots of fond memories and as you know we all get together every two years for a reunion at the community center in Decatur.  Wanda ________________________________ From: Nancee Seifert <iggy29@grm.net> To: IADECATU@rootsweb.com Sent: Mon, May 3, 2010 11:29:30 AM Subject: [IADECATU] CARL CREES. I haven't talked to Carl in years -- since I started my Crees research.. He still had the Auto Parts store then... (Do I have the right person?)  We emailed but I never saw him in person. Somehow I always feel when I talk with you, I'm from the wrong branch of the CREESs.. And probably am..  Thanks, Nancee I always thought Wendell Akers was one of the nicest guys after I met Ted Fuller.  -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------Original Message------- From: Leland Rauch Date: 5/3/2010 8:16:35 AM To: iadecatu@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [IADECATU] QUESTIONS..
