While reading the charter of the VFW on the wall of the building, the family found a bit of trivia that two of the children are descendents of one of the founders of the Perry VFW. Josie Luther at one time was married to Art Kidney (now deceased) and their two children are Arthur Kidney and Nancy Nelson. It was a surprise for them to learn that their father was once a member. During their life in Perry their mother, Josie, had the restaurant Jo’s Drive-In, now' P & Grill. In the five years of this event contacts have been made with cousins in this area and nearby and looks to grow in years to come. Two websites have been set up for instant messages between 16 family members and genealogy site set up to trace roots.
