amount of food that certain mem
bers of the family were putting
away, the annual Wise reunion

ried Cathy Wise was formally in
troduced to the confusing num
ber of aunts, uncles, cousins and
double cousins.
Several visitors were present
for the affair and included Dr.

should have a lot of wisdom with
all the Wise people around.
