Hi Abi. I am a second/third cousin of your father Clayton. Though growing up we called him Chuck. I am Sherri (Brummerstedt) Mefford. Took me a while to respond. We had moved and grandkids in ball ternments and we are getting ready for vacation.
My parents divorced when I was 7 and by brother 6. Dad and us moved into grandparents home and there we were raised. Grandparents; Ray & Roma Brummerstedt, and Roma's mom; Mary Dauskart (my g.grandmother).
Knew you grandpa and dad well. The whistler is what I some times called Uncle Bud. How I loved to her him whistle a tone. Never had I heard such whistling. Your dad, Bud, Dee and rest of family would come down now and then to visit. I remember watching your dad practice volleyball, getting ready for a ternment I believe. He was a character. Funny, always smiling and laughing.
I just e-mailed your dad. Will e-mail info on what I have gotten so far on the Cushman family. Though sadly to report is not much. I cannot find anything on Clayton, Mary's husband or beyond. I hope you and your dad can help me fill in the blanks.
Hope to hear from you soon. Nice to met you.
Sherri (Brummerstedt) Mefford
