Cousin Jim's wife Siân (from Denver) holds nephew John.	Brothers (Uncles Steve, Fred and Bob) visit with Art...	August, 2000 - Family Reunion - Our family reunion was held on August 26th in southern Iowa. I arrived a few days early and stayed for a few days after everyone else left.
...while Art's wife Luella visits with cousin Tina (New York City), cousin Jim and wife Sharon (Clearwater, FL) and Sharon's mom (Chicago).	Tables are being set up in the driveway...	...because it's time to eat!
My mother's first cousins, Helen, Rose and Kay, and Kay's husband Beryl.	Neighbors, Linda and Keith, with their grandson.	The tent is full of diners...
...and so is the driveway.	I tried to get everyone in a picture...	...and finally moved to the front porch.
St. Mary's parish priest, Fr. Bill Walters, CPPS 2.	It was Aunt Jean's birthday. Here's just one of the cakes.	On Sunday, Bob and Bonnie's son, John (held by his mom), was baptized after 8:30 Mass.

² While talking to Fr. Bill during dinner, I found out that he was assigned to St. Anthony parish grade school in Detroit from 1961 to 1962. I graduated from St. Anthony High in 1961, so we had some acquaintances in common, but it took 39 years to find out. Small world.
