My Vrana cousins have continued to get together at least once a year for as long as most of us can remember. This was the group that met in the summer of 2005 at the Villager in Lincoln, NE. The event was planned by Ted & Muffy and was one of our special reunions. The quilt partially shown as a backdrop was a joint project that depicted family history. Muffy and Bobbie provided the leadership and labor in putting it all together. As cousins, we all shared some common Genes, but Grandma Antonio Vrana had more influence on each of us than we suspected at the time. When we were growing up, she always told us of what great things each of our cousins was doing. We didn't think she ever "bragged" on us. It wasn't until one of these Cousins reunions after she had passed on, when we learned that she told all the other cousins of the great things we did. She challenged each of us, and we "turned out" better because of it.
