Hello again. I am Ken's (Butch's) daughter, Kathy (Hutchison), now Sumner. This is
wonderful. I am so glad to be in touch with you.
I currently live in Hawaii and was able to make one trip during Grandma's illness. I
went to Aunt Sue's and spent a week with Grandma in June of the the same year she
passed. When she passed I was not able to go to the funeral. My husband was deployed and I
was in Hawaii with my girls, Chelcie and Cassity. It really hurt to miss it.
I have always felt close to the Cassity family line. Because I was always petite in
stature. My sister convinced me I was adopted because my family towered over me. Grandma
lived with us for a time, but when I went to Illinois as a child I met your father, Jo
Bill and the other Cassity's. Finally, I realized where I came from. So for me, the
Cassity line has always provided me with a definition of "self". Which brings me
to another topic.
I have recently been in touch with your father, Jo Bill, Lela and Sal. I am trying to get
Ione's address. I am a writer (of sorts). I am now working on my second book. It is
about the Cassity family during the late 1920's through the 1930's. I intend to
write about the family traveling together as children, from track to track with horeses in
tow. So if you have any stories your father told you of his days traveling as a child with
the family I would love to hear them.
Again, it's great to be in communication with you. I bet having James for a father was
quite interesting. You must have spent many years at the track. What a childhood!
Take care and thanks for responding,
Kathy
