He was my grandmothers 4th husband, married in the 40’s. A Seebee who became a civil engineer for the state of New Mexico. I also have his PE stamp.

Steph Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 My grandfather's middle name was the numeral 7. I hung out after work with a boy for months before we learned we were second cousins. He was embarrassed because he had almost asked me out on a date. Eli and Peyton Manning are also my cousins.
