Seventy Years

By my calculations, we’re coming up on what would have been Mom and Dad’s 70th Wedding Anniversary. Of course, that means that Frances, our present matriarch, is inching that much closer to becoming a septuagenarian. Oh, and the rest of us are not all that far behind.

As I was curating photos for the family historical album it struck me that weddings figured prominently in the selections. I suppose that’s because our dispersed family comes together so infrequently.

Those weddings are great catalysts to marshall a family assembly. It turns out these events bring out some of the best dancing as well. Check out the following two photos taken almost exactly 35 years apart!

Photo Album Updating

As I continue to fossick through the mess of photo archives, I’ll try and post the good ones into the album. Everyone is encouraged to share anything relevant with me. Just call or drop an email, and we can figure out the best options for sharing. Perhaps one day I’ll even find a better way to organize and present the photos.

In the meantime, you can click the button below and browse the photos at your leisure. Let me know about dates on any of the ones you see. As I’ve said, I did my best to organize and sequence them.

Coming up in 2022

The big event for 2022 looks like the family reunion in western Maryland. Fran and I have locked down a couple of nice places around the corner from each other. The reunion should be a great time and, a great opportunity for us to all be together in one place. See you there!
