What Did The Idiot Do For Entertainment At A Family Reunion In Vermont?

What did The Idiot do to entertain family members during a week-long family reunion in Shelburne, Vermont?

Think a baby picture, a charm bracelet, a banana split, a Roaring Twenties newsie costume, Baby Gaga, a speech about his father (who would have been 100 on September 25), a Boston Red Sox bobblehead, memorable family photos and mucho more.

The Idiot tried to convince family members that he looked like a smart kid in his father’s arms in 1948. The reunion in Vermont was held to commemorate the centennial of his father’s birthday on September 25, 1919.
