Reunion Reflections

Reunion Reflections

The green tee shirts outnumbered the rest of us.

Grandma was known as Bertice.  Her name is spelled Beatrice.

Lots of people remember Daddy and Mom and loved them a lot.

Food, sharing food, making food, eating food, too much food is definitely a family trait.

Most of the women in our family are short.  Leslie and Pam are exceptions.

Beth and I represented Team Purple – along with Charlie, Chris, Tyler, Willow, and Landon. 

Hugo Johnson, owner of the campground was friends with Daddy and had been to Alaska a couple times to visit them.  Likewise Bobby.

Kay was the go-to gal for the reunion. Pam did most of the computer work because Kay’s computer was on the fritz.

When Daddy was out fishing one time, he had a kid with him.  In those days, outboards were started by pulling a string (much like a lawnmower) the top was off the outboard, and when the boat lurched, Daddy put his hand on the spinning part of the outboard.  The kid, who had to have been younger than me, brought Daddy and the boat in safely.

Uncle Ted was married to Aunt Anne.

Uncle Dogie was married to Aunt Rose

Grandma was married to Harry Montgomery.

Uncle Dutch was married to Geogiana.

Aunt Millie was married to Walter.

Daddy was married to Mom.  J

An uncle named Bill was either never married or never had children.

Not many of us bear the name Pendegrass, but there are a lot of Jessups. 

I got to see where we lived before we left Montana, but we did not get to see Uncle Ted’s cabin. 

If there had been an award for the farthest-away-attenders, Beth and I would have gotten it.
