My brother Tony just can't stand it if he's not torturing one of my kids,

even though they're grown now!

What a wonderful family gathering we had!  The weather was hot, but it was a nice sunny day.  It didn't affect us adults as much because most of us hung out together indoors.  Once again, we rented the expo center for the reunion (rental provided by the generosity of Elton & Helen Simmons).  

Each family group brought covered dish(es) so we had plenty of great food!  

This was the last reunion that Uncle Alton attended- he died early the following year.  He was in poor health at this reunion as evidenced by being wheelchair bound.  He is sadly missed by us all!

Attending from out of state were Elton & Helen Simmons, Tony & Dena Powell and Debbie & Dwayne Ward.  Attending from out of town were Crissy & Ryan Curry and Gertrude & James Wiginton.
