Hello to ALL the Rimmer's worldwide.
It is great to see so many postings from all over the world from people with the surname 'Rimmer'. Coming from a country that is vast in size and sparsely populated you begin to feel quite isolated. Especially with a name as uncommon as Rimmer. I find it refreshing to hear about other Rimmer's out and about this globe and the internet certainly shrinks the expanse and distance down. My roots come from my Grandfather William Rimmer (yes I know, that is quite uncommon for a Rimmer to have an ancestor with the name William or John
) who came from Chickasaw County, Iowa. One of my goals (or on my bucket list) is to attend the annual Rimmer reunion in Southport, UK. I didn't realize that there was a Rimmer reunion here in Canada either until I joined this forum (although going to Ontario is almost as onerous as flying to Manchester from western Alberta!). I am aware of the reunion held in the Carolina's and also plan to attend that one, one day.
To those Rimmer's who would like to visit Alberta, Canada; I would love to hear from you. Alberta holds a lot of interesting sites, such as Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper, Drumheller and many, many more less advertized sites. Fishing, hunting, camping and quadding, and more adventures both rural and urban await (sheesh, I sound like an advertisement for our provincial gov't's 'Travel Alberta'). Love to hear from some of my 'distant' relatives. ciao for now.
