Terry Anderson's Cousin

 

It was on the news today that Terry Anderson died a week ago at age 76.  Terry was a hostage in Levanon for a number of years but was finally freed.

When he first became a hostage a neighbor of ours about 8 or 9 houses away announced she and Terry are cousins.

Within a week or so I drove by her house after dark and saw lights on in her backyard.  The light bulbs were on cords up in the trees. 

“Why?”  I wondered? 

“Does she even still live there?” I also wondered.

People in this neighborhood like to keep to themselves.
