  Family Event	The 12 children of John and Martha RUSSELL, along with their spouses and children, got together often for family events. Most of them owned and operated separate variety stores in small towns in eastern Kansas and western Missouri.  [26]
  	"The Russells would get together every Christmas, exchange gifts and have a big dinner. They took turns which home and town they would go to. I remember I would have to sleep between two fat aunts in one bed and I did not like that. "Every summer (around July 4th) they would go fishing together at different lakes. One summer I got burned on my stomach by a firecracker or Roman Candle due to their carelessness. Another fishing trip Virginia and I were in a boat with our Dad [Walter Scott RUSSELL] and two other uncles around midnight when one uncle flipped a fish right in my lap. I nearly fell out of the boat. Last time I went with them. "One time Uncle Charlie [Charles OTT] and Aunt Myrtle [Myrtle RUSSELL OTT] were visiting us on Cherry Street in Olathe and we were waiting on my Dad to come home from the store so we could go to eat. Uncle Charlie was tired of waiting and went outside and made a hog calling noise that would put your ears out of order. Here came Dad down the street. Said he heard someone calling pigs when he turned the corner on Cherry Street. "The Russells went on buying trips for their stores in the summer. They would order Christmas things on these trips. I remember going to St. Louis, MO and riding one of the big boats down the Mississippi River. I must have been about 8-10 years old. Had a good time!" - Lucille Maxine RUSSELL MELTON, June 2001
