The day drew to a close with a memorable occasion, 2 years in the making. Jan Bee, an alum of our 2009 Southern Tier cross country trip, had formally requested membership in a club started by my cousin Barb Kehew in the late 50's as a way to encourage correspondence between she and I. In the last 20 years, the club has had a total makeover, but is still open only to family members by marriage or birth - VERY exclusive..... Barb, who is President for Life, had armed me with an official induction kit, complete with gold hive pin, official club tee shirt, and bee stationary. Since member by birth Eliza was visiting, as was Laurey who is writing a bee keepers cook book, we scheduled the official ceremony. It was a blast, with the President on speaker phone from Pittsburgh, lining up Laurey to be the keynote speaker at our next Bee -in. Welcome Jan Bee, the first non-Kehew EVER to be accorded membership in the Busy Bee Mail Club!
