Bill died a few years ago, but his wife Frieda is still going strong. I think Bill also lived where Sonny Nelson lived between Wapella and Clinton for a while, but there was a fire or something..or possibly he was already out of town by then.<BR/><BR/>He had one daughter, Patty, married to a Jensen (or is it Jansen?) and many grandkids. Mike and Dan come to mind, as regular attendees of the Donovan reunion. I am sure they have brought their kids over the years.<BR/><BR/>Bill Donovan is Helen Ryan's brother, if you need another celebrity connection, and my first cousin-once-removed.<BR/><BR/>Correct me other Donovan's if I have this mixed up.<BR/><BR/>JBPJBPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015371340244747070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903483516951946644.post-66766148294758511102008-11-20T18:27:00.000-08:002008-11-20T18:27:00.000-08:00Sorry to high jack the site. last weekend we had a...Sorry to high jack the site. last weekend we had a booth in Palatine IL at the great american food expo. a gentlemen with the last name of "Jensen" came up after recognizing the Toohill name. He mentioned that his Grandmother was a Donovan. Said he had been to the Reunion as a child and remembered the Heyworth Wapella area. We got to talking about possible relatives we had in common. Any thoughts? Please adviseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
