My aunt was Virginia Lambert, the younger sister of my father Charles Lambert. They lived in West Hartford, Connecticut.
In school, Virginia Landegren sat behind Virginia Lambert in homeroom. Both girls went by the nickname Ginny. They became friends. On occasion, they would play or study together at each other’s homes.
There was a cute older brother named Charles. Some 15 years later he married Virginia Landegren. She then became Virginia Lambert, and later my mother.
It was very confusing at high school reunions when two Ginny Lamberts showed up!
This is a story I heard many times at family gatherings.
Do you have some interesting family stories to tell?
I’d love to hear some of them!
