I am Hannah Vaughan and Arky was my grandpa's uncle. My grandpa enjoys showing me pictures in our family tree book and I find it intriguing.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500022917888331004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490196343695454210.post-16740391409893258962015-11-19T22:48:12.133-05:002015-11-19T22:48:12.133-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500022917888331004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490196343695454210.post-70680282391575710812015-05-20T16:43:55.903-04:002015-05-20T16:43:55.903-04:00Thanks, Andrew!

My two favorite nicknames right there alongside Arky... though, like I said, I didn't know that was a nickname... to this very day.<br />Thanks!Andrew Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063234777548462157noreply@blogger.com
