A Grand
American Tradition
I' . - ' ?
The Cuppers had a grand old
family reunion last week—for the
first time since the war. (
Big and little Cuppers came, by
car and train, from as far west
ms Nebraska and as far east as
^Vermont. They crowded Dee and
Jane’s house, set up quarters in
the barns, or stopped with neigh
1/ ix,rs—and a jollier gathering you
couldn’t have imagined!
I I was asked to their final Satur*
Jay night supper, when they sang
mid songs, drank beer and cider,
reminisced. Dark Cuppers and
blonde ones—Vermont accents and
Alabama drawls—doctors and farm
ers ... all with their differences of
taste and politics, yet as close and
harmonious in spirit as a group
could be.
From where I sit, it's a great
American tradition—not just fam
ily reunions, but the ability to get
along as one harmonious family,
regardless of differences of taste—
whether it’s taste for politics or
farming, beer or cider.
