Circa 1937
A cousin who was at the reunion with his mother.... who was not
2010
Most people, including me, are already up on the stage waiting for the group photo. The reunion is held in a church hall where they have lots of tables and a kitchen and toys and things for the children to do.
My great grandfather had fourteen children -- or rather his wife did. (Gosh!) Two died very young in the First World War. There are tables with lots of photos of relatives -- my father, aged two, wearing a dress --they did in those days...... and Auntie Rose looking glam on her wedding day.
All generations tumbled together (we wore name tags). I met several people I hadn't talked to in almost forty years.
And the newest generation played around and had lots of fun......
....dancing .....
...or just looking.......
