50th Wedding Anniversary


OK Since I posted a picture of Lynda that she didn't like, I'll post my least favorite picture of me. That was an awkward age. I don't have many fond memories of my early teenage years. As the caption says, this is a picture from my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary celebration. All of their descendants at the time were gathered there. The year was 1962 and they were married December 24 but I'm quite sure it wasn't the anniversary of the actual wedding day that the celebration was held. So Lynda was 18, I was 15, Kathy was 14, Carol Ann was 12 and Barbara was 9. As to the names, I will try to identify all, but may not be correct on some. W&L is wells and Lorraine, W&M is Willard and Marian and W&W is Winifred and Wood. Left to right seated in front Neal (W&L), Jayne (W&M), Janice (W&L), Jeffrey (W&M), Emile (W&L), Douglas (W&W). Seated L to R on the couch Susan (W&M) Grandpa, Lyle (W&W) Grandma, Barbara. Standing next to Susan on left Karen (W&L), on right Marsha (W&L), Standing behind Barbara, David (W&L) and to the right of Barbara in front of Kathy, Kevin (W&W) . Standing across the back L to R, Lynda, Lynne (W&M), Craig (W&M), Carol Ann, Woodrow holding Lorna, Winifred, Willard, Marian, Aubrey, Sibyl, Wells, Lorraine, Steven (W&L) Joanne (W&L), Kathy, Richard. Wells and Lorraine's youngest, Rachel, was not born yet. Feel free to correct if that is incorrect.

Aubrey and Sibyl Lawrence children


Thought the kids and grand kids might be interested in this one. It is a collage of photos from our family at various ages put together by Grandma.

New Format

Got tired of the old format, so I decided to change it. Hope you like it.

Clowning around

One more picture.

This one is of Grandma and some of her brothers, cousins, and friends. L to R, half brother Lorenzo Bringhurst, cousin Clifford Wallace, Heber Naegle, and brother Will. I am not quite sure how Clifford Wallace is related, but she labeled him a cousin.

Children

This picture is of Henry Bringhurst (half brother of Veda), Veda, and Will (Marias William, Veda's older brother) at ages about 10, 5, and 3. Henry is William Augustus' child by his first wife Selinda. I think it is interesting that Grandma referred to her as Aunt Selinda when labeling the picture.
Tis one is Veda and Will. I am assuming it is at a younger age.

Thanks



Thanks to all who contributed to the Lowes gift card and to Jocelyn. Combining the two, I got this saw for Christmas. It works great and was a big help cutting the moldings for the family room.
