Scott Young was a member of our family. It is sad to see him go.
His father (Uncle Percy to me) and my grandfather were brother. I remember meeting Uncle Percy a long time ago.
I guess, if I have this figured this out right, that would make Scott and my Mom first cousins. Somewhere along the line I am related to Neil Young. I think second cousin removed or something like that. After cousins it's hard to keep things in order.
I remember meeting Scott at a family reunion we had in the late 80's at Cypress River. Actually it was Cypress Rivers Centennial. My Mom was so excited for us to meet him.
We sat around and enjoyed listen to him talk about his life and his family. It was great to to meet him.
OK, here's the relational connection for all those in my family. Maybe we can keep it straight now me included.
My great great Grandfather James Hume Young had my Grandfather William Gould Young and my Uncle Percy Young.
William Young: had my Mother along with a few other children
Percy Young: had Scott Young and a few other children, Neil Young begin one
This makes Scott and my Mother 1st cousins.
Of course Mom had me and Scott had Neil, so I guess Neil and I are cousins also. I find this all very confusing. Just when I have it figured out. I find I do not. The bottom line is we are Family.

Hey there. It's fun to try figure out how we are related but... let's just say we're related somehow.
