Skeletons in the Closet
Posted on March 13, 2008 - Filed Under Family history, Pulskamps Today
The story below, about the FBI investigation of one Pulskamp, brings to mind the old “skeletons in the closet” issue. Every family has some stories that they consider too embarrassing to share. My own take on that is that, after some years, those stories add color and depth to the family history. Why should we be uncomfortable because a neighbor in 1918 thought someone from our family was misbehaving, especially since it really wasn’t true? I think it is a great story!
There are other stories that might be interesting to share, now that the initial pain is gone. Sometimes, sharing a somewhat painful story can ease the pain; let you know that you are not alone. This family, at least the part I know personally, is strong enough to handle anything that any Pulskamp has dealt with in the past. Bring it on! Arrested for murder? (Totally exhonorated!) Confined to a mental institution? (Wonder why?) Transgendered? (What difference does that make?) Illegal alien?
If you know of a “skeleton in the closet” that is ready to see the light of day, let me know. If you really resent my asking and wish I would leave those stories alone, let me know that too.
