October 20, 200421 yr Yes Tom is my cousin. I'm not sure exactly how closely we are related, but I'm pretty sure he's my dad's 2nd cousin. I have personally never met him, but I know my dad went to his farm when they were kids. Hopefully one of these days I can meet him when he's in Wisconsin. There was one family reunion he was going to be at when I was younger, but he couldn't make it. So I just wanted to introduce myself, and let you all know there's part of the Wopat family on the board.
October 20, 200421 yr Welcome to Hazzardnet... Glad you made your way on here. Hope you enjoy yourself around these parts. That is cool that you are related. Maybe someday he will come to one of your family functions. Wouldn't that be a great surprise for ya? And after that you can intrduce him to all of us on here..... ...Once again enjoy yourself around here...Darrell
October 21, 200421 yr Well, I dunno if he'd want to introduce ALL of us from here.... ROFL.Welcome to HNet, Larry.
October 21, 200421 yr Ya Hey, Larry! Welcome to HazzardNet. I know a number o' Wisconsin folks myself. What part of the state do ya hail from?And if Tom doesn't show up at y'alls place, maybe you could take in one of his gigs. I know he did a few WI shows this last summer; he'll probably work his way home again. Brian
October 21, 200421 yr Your Daddy and Tom knew each other when they were little kids so how would you and Tom be related ?
October 21, 200421 yr I Hope you get the Chance to meet Tom in person you should write him a fan letter and tell him about yourself.
October 22, 200421 yr Author Yeah, I know he did some shows in Wisconsin, I think some of my aunts went. He is my dad's second cousin. So I guess he's probably my third cousin. I know it's not that close of a relation, but we're definitely related. I live in La Crosse, but I go to college in Iowa right now. My family is originally from the Hillsboro, WI area, where a lot of the Wopat family is from. We have our family reunion there every other year, but I haven't gone to it in years. Well I suppose I'm gonna go. Talk to ya'll later.
October 23, 200421 yr Larry, that's cool. I'm familiar with the LaCrosse/Onalaska/Sparta area. LaCrosse is a beautiful town. Kind of a rustic, lonesome area up there, with the high bluffs on the banks o' the Mississippi.I was last up there few years ago for Riverfest; they had Night Ranger playin' on stage, I recall. And ya know...it doesn't matter to us none, if you're Tom's third cousin, or yer own grandpa. We're glad to have ya!Brian
