Wayne Blanchard: Friends and Family
from The Beautiful Party · host Mark Still
Our visit with Toni Brock was so much fun that we’re continuing the theme of talking to others who knew Grandma and Grandpa as Uncle Donald and Aunt Katherine. Uncle Executive Producer Andrew arranged this visit with Wayne Blanchard, who like Toni, comes into the picture via one of Grandma’s siblings, her brother Gene Thornton by marrying Gene’s daughter Ann. It’s also special to me because Wayne is my godfather and one of my dad’s favorite friends. He was also the best man at my parents' wedding. It meant a lot to hear stories about the two of them in their younger days and to confirm a few memories I had including the infamous ball and chain. Friends and family are beautiful indeed.Do you have family stories to tell? Memories of Donald and Katherine? Stories about family gatherings? Whatever it may be, if it's related to the Still family, it would be good to hear.Email Mark Still at [email protected] and we'll add it to the records!
