Great Stuff from the Blums!

I know I said my next post would be one announcing the look-alike contest to be held at the 2009 Reunion, but I just received some wonderful pictures and memories from Aunt Mildred and Uncle Stan! Here's a peek at a few of my favorites...For some of the younger generations who weren't around when this was taken back in 1936, this is a picture of John and Minnie Park, (Albert's parents) taken on their Golden Wedding Anniversary!


This picture is priceless to me. It's where our story begins!

Did anyone else not know that Aunt Mildred and Uncle Stan got married at an US Army base in Augusta,Georgia?! (I'm still hoping for wedding pictures from several more of the original siblings...as well as any of the rest of you!)


I would love to have more family pictures like these from those who haven't sent any,yet!



I clumped these three together. I love the expressions on each sister's face!
That's all I have time for...I'll get the look-alike contest posted soon. (The best way to see this picture is to right-click on the picture and it should open to a larger view)


That's all I have time for. But keep watching for the look-alike contest details!

Pictures still needed!

A few posts ago,I requested pictures for the Albert and Mary Park Family History book that I am compiling for the next reunion. Aunt Lillian sent me some great ones!
I need some help identifying a few of these "Park family's finest". I know there are two Williams, two Mervins and a Thomas, but who is that handsome blonde? Can anyone help me out?

I was afraid that the photo-copied pictures might not be very clear, but I was quite pleased with how they reproduced. I think they will look great in the book.


Can anyone guess who these adorable girls are?
That's all for now. But, please keep sending me your pictures and memories of being a part of the Park family. I'll gladly use anything you send, but I am really hoping for some more wedding pictures. If you prefer to send pictures via e-mail, send them to me at lindalpm1978@yahoo.com Thanks!
P.S. The next post will be an announcement of the look-a-like contest that will be held at the Park Reunion next July. Check back soon for the details!

Thanks, Aunt Lillian!

I recently received in the mail two large packets of pictures, family info and memories from Aunt Lillian. She must have spent hours getting everything ready to send. Thank-you, Aunt Lil! I have been busily scanning everything for the last several days and will post pictures, soon. But I just wanted to let everyone know how special the memories have been for me to read. To those reading this who haven't done so yet, please, please, please send me your pictures and memories.

I also recently received an e-mail from Cinniman, who gave me some more e-mail addresses. I hope that more of you are finding this blog. Please make comments now and then so I will know you are reading.
