Our "Aunt Dee" and "Uncle Bill" Trotter's Family Continues to Grow.

Great Grandma Trotter known as our "Aunt Dee" (short for Wadeai) is on the far right in this photo taken at her store in George Street, Prince George, B.C. Aunt Dee and Uncle Bill lived for a time in Tenth Avenue, not far from Uncle Gordon and Aunt Cleo Bryant. To connect the dots, in the Descendants of Mussallems lineage, Wadeai was the first born of Najeeb and Masadi Mussallem, born in Winnipeg Manitoba. She is pictured as a baby on the right hand side of a photo of the Family, three posts below, sitting on the knee of her Father Najeeb.
Today I had the pleasure of meeting briefly in my neighbourhood, just between home and work, with Wadeai & Uncle Bill's beautiful Great Granddaughter, Chloe Jia-Wen Trotter. Having been raised with my Mother Catherine called Cleo, Bryant (nee Mussallem) and my father your "Uncle Gordon" in B.C.'s Northern Interior, I was close to The Trotter Family there. As an only child, I held my cousin Bill, Chloe's Grandfather, to be like an older brother to me. Winters in Prince George, both away to boarding schools in the south, and Summers in Kelowna.
The connection with Bill's Mom Wadeai is a lifelong one for me, as she was always present in the formative years of my life. Hence, my grateful joy to be in the presence of her Great-Granddaughter Chloe, and her soon to be announced cousin, first born of John Trotter and Marie Morrison.

Thanks be to the One Almighty God. S.B.
