We're working on a pictorial family history to present later this summer at our family reunion. I am going through and picking out the family slides while Mary Jo is digitizing them and Allan is loading all into his computer. We are putting them in order and will begin to edit them and add text and sound.
The thing that stands out is how close a family we were. And how fortunate we were to have each other. We felt loved and protected. We shared adventures and outings that continue to this day. We were taught that family time is special and important.
We were an Air Force family and traveled the world. We enjoyed meals and swimming at the Officer's Club at various bases. We went to Armed Forces Day celebrations and worshiped at the base chapel. We shopped at the base exchange and commissary and sometimes went to base schools. All but one of us was born in a military hospital.
We lived all over the United States and two overseas tours to England and the Panama Canal. We loved to move. The most exciting assignment was to Florida. Who knew all those years ago that most of us would end up still there!
