HERE THEY ARE! The pictues for the Albert and Mary Park look-alike contest to be held during the Park Family Reunion! I am excited to see who will win. Let's have some fun with this. Some of the pictures I have are group shots, which I will try to have cropped . But, for now, here they are...
This is Grandpa,with two of his sisters. He, of course, is the one in the middle.

Again, a group shot of Grandpa's family. He is in the front row, second from the left. His twin sister, Alice has her arm around his shoulders.

And now, the pictures of Grandma Park

A teenager...
A little older...
And finally, in her later years.

And finally, in her later years. Rules for the contest are as follows:
1. The above photos will be framed and sitting on a table for everyone to see, with a clipboard in front of each photo.
2. Throughout the reunion, you will be encouraged to "nominate" candidates for each photo, by putting their name on the clipboard.
3. On the last night of the reunion, each of the nominated candidates will have a chance to "strut their stuff". Candidates are encouraged to do whatever it takes to improve their chances of winning (wear similar clothing, etc.)
4. An applause vote will determine the winner of each photo.
5. Each winner will receive a framed photo from the category they won in, and each contestant will receive a smaller, unframed photo, plus bragging rights.
Finally, if any of you have different pictures of Grandma and Grandpa Park that you feel would make better look-alike photo contest pictures, please mail or e-mail them to me by March.
And I still need memories and photos! The book I am working on will have a section for each of Grandma and Grandpa Park's children, with short histories of their lives, (Aunt Lil, Aunt Gracie,Uncle Bill...)as well as pictures (hopefully!). If you want a better assortment than the snapshots I have of past reunions, then please send me some pictures!
Also, I have not heard back from many of you. I am most concerned that there is at least one representative from each of the original sibling's families. So, please take a minute and make a comment at the end of this post. By commenting, you will agree to make sure that your extended family gets the word. Anyone I haven't heard from by the time I return from my vaction the middle of February I will have to call or send a letter to. (not a fun task!)
