Family Generations
Another Odyssey Owl section!
Family Generations
Ok guys whether you know it or not every family has a tidbit of information that could make them famous. You may not know about it but your grandparents or parents have done something fairly interesting that they wouldn't necessarily tell you. Your mission is to find an interesting story about your family and post it here. We ask that you be completely honest because my team will determine who's the most interesting and you shall get a prize.
Here is an example of my family generation thing.
My Grandmother use to sing in clubs and was pretty good at it. She was a part of a musical group and she was once a backstage singer for Pattie LaBelle if that's how you spell it... This is the honest truth. She ended this career when she became a Christian.

My distant relatives were murdered in Kansas and it ended up being made into the best selling book and movie In Cold Blood by Truman Capote!

No, why would I randomly say people were murdered?
But now I shall send their ghosts to avenge me!

You don't have to pay me I just like to talk about murdered relatives! That is gift enough!
Well, way back in the old days, my family was part of the French monarchy; then they moved to Quebec and had a town named after them, which still stands TO THIS DAY.
So you lost your trust,
And you never should have.
No, you never should have.
But don't break your back
If you ever see this,
But don't answer that.

Unless you are telling the truth and not joking around.
We even had a cool flag with like a lion holding a cross.

My great-great-grandmother was a sharp shooter for a circus. Nobody in my family knew this about her until she showed my relatives. As a young boy, my grandfather grew up on a farm. Some birds were getting into the garden so his father told him to take a gun and shoot them. His grandmother was living with them at the time and watched my grandpa miss bird after bird. Pretty soon, she told him she would show him how it was done. My grandfather handed her the gun, but didn't think she even knew how to shoot it. To make the long story short, she shot 10 birds in 10 shots straight. When my grandfather asked her about it, she said nothing, but when she died he found out through records that she'd been a circus sharp shooter.
Jesus is ready for anyone who is ready for him.
