larrywopat Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 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. Quote
Capt_Redneck Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 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 Quote
MaryAnne Posted October 21, 2004 Report Posted October 21, 2004 Well, I dunno if he'd want to introduce ALL of us from here.... ROFL.Welcome to HNet, Larry. Quote
Brian Coltrane Posted October 21, 2004 Report Posted October 21, 2004 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 Quote
Guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Posted October 21, 2004 Your Daddy and Tom knew each other when they were little kids so how would you and Tom be related ? Quote
Guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Posted October 21, 2004 I Hope you get the Chance to meet Tom in person you should write him a fan letter and tell him about yourself. Quote
larrywopat Posted October 22, 2004 Author Report Posted October 22, 2004 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. Quote
Brian Coltrane Posted October 23, 2004 Report Posted October 23, 2004 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 Quote
