Our children (22 of them) have grown up as adopted siblilngs to each other.
Now they are all marrying and having their own children.
One of the first people I met when I moved to the University of California at Berkeley was Charlotte Mitchell. She and I both were members of Newman Hall. She was the grad resident of the dorm where I lived, and I was terrified of her. Over the years, Char became a close friend. Through Newman Hall, I met many people (including Walt) and ultimately a group of 5 couples, all of whom met there, dated, and married there, formed a close knit extended family. We were attendants at each others' weddings, godparents to each other's children, neighbors, co-workers in our childrens' schools. More than 30 years later, we are all still close friends. We've laughed together, cried together, and traveled around the country together.

We
still get together socially several times a year, though we don't often
have the kids break a pinata, like we used to when they were little. With
our group now scattered from Maine to Hawaii, we keep up with what is going
on in each other's lives by means of a newsletter I publish monthly, called
The Pinata Papers.
Some of our group have links that might be interesting to follow.
