Kunz-Keber connection

My grandmother's maiden name was Keber.  Frances Keber and her siblings were born in Madelia, MN.  After the death of their father, Peter, in 1906 some of the adult children wanted a bigger world and moved to Mt. Angel, Oregon.  Even my grandparents, Frances and Henry, moved there for a while.  Henry is known to have said that, "it rains 300 days a year" and soon return to Minnesota.  However the majority of the Keber family stayed and prospered and grew.  They assured me it doesn't rain that much.  The distance between our two sides of the family have limited the travels to each other's homes.  My time in Oregon has been a chance to meet and connect with this part of the family.  Naturally we had a Keber family reunion.  The food was delicious, the conversation lively, and the laughter often.  Of course there was time for a family picture.  Believe it or not, I am the tallest one and won the award for coming the farthest.
