Big Family Reunion

All of Great Grandmother Kitty Edds’ children and grandchildren were home for Thanksgiving in 1962, so they took that occasion to have family portraits made. Nearly a half century later, most of the family gathered again for Great Uncle Gene Ray Edds’ 80th Birthday Party. Ten of the 13 living alumni of that 1962 gathering were present. They were Granddaddy David, Grandma Ondra, Great Uncle Gene Ray, Great Aunt Gay Nell, Great Uncle Richard, Great Uncle Dick Williams, and four of Daddy’s first cousins Marc Edds, Rodney Edds, Al Williams and David Williams. In the years since this photo, many additions have come to the family through birth and marriage. The first was Daddy Dave born just four months after that 1962 Thanksgiving Day photo and the most recent were Trey Davey and Benji born just 20 months ago. With so many family members coming together again for the first time, we again enlisted the services of a professional photographer to take family portraits.
