Paternal Side...
Family Names: Pool, Martin, Clutter, Krezgie
A very large extended family. Little-to-no extensive research done on the paternal side. Jamie's father was adopted and never knew or looked for any information about his biological family. The 'Pool Clan' as Jamie's paternal Grandfather refers to it, are die-hard Chicago Cubs fans. The yearly family reunion is kicked off at Wrigley Field each year. Jamie's paternal Grandmother, known as 'Nanny', taught Jamie how to knit, sew and play the piano. Jamie's father passed away after suffering a short time due to cancer of the liver in February 2012. Family members always said that Jamie and her father were "two peas in a pod". He is dearly missed since his passing.
