Paul Bostrom and Tom Rude


Annie honors multiple family members by modeling Zel’s jewelery.

There are two men in particular whom I didn’t get to know because of Alzheimer’s disease: my grandfather Paul Bostrom who passed away when I was six; and Tom Rude, gone three years before I met his son Dan, who I’m marrying next autumn. Through stories I know that Paul and Tom were warm-hearted men who enjoyed a good laugh–traits that, lucky for me, didn’t skip a generation.
