Semi Famous Family Member
So I couldn't sleep the other night and something got me thinking of past family members. I remembered my mom telling me of a great grandfather that was born with no legs, just feet. He was in the circus and pretty famous back in his day. I decided to google him. First I did the google images because I couldn't remember his first name but I knew his last name and I knew what he looked like. He didn't come up by name because the last name "Bowen" is pretty popular so I tried "Circus Bowen." Oh my! All kinds of pictures came up. And there was his name with the pictures. Eli Bowen. I haven't even been able to scrach the surface of web sites about him.
I am writing this to you all to share Eli with you and for you maybe to encourage you to google some of your relatives. It was pretty cool to find. If you have already done this, I would love to hear about what you found out.

Wow! That is REALLY COOL to have such a famous family member, and such a memorable one! My great-grandma was robbed by Pancho Villa on a train, but that's as close to famous as we got!
