A New Picture

Just got this picture yesterday. Really enjoyed visiting with
Russell and Nancy Murphy.
Hopefully, we will get to see them at the re-union, but, if they don't make it, at least you have their picture here.

a reunion look at the past

Reunions are a great time to reconnect with our roots, and our heritage.
our reunion this year is June 10, a Sunday, at the Parkersburg city park.
For most of us, our heritage begins with men in this picture.
Some of the names are spelled wrong, for instance Francis Murphy's name is spelled with an 'e' in the picture but we still know who is meant.
Curt Murphy and Francis Murphy are the patriarchs of many of us, but some others are also important.
Homer Mullins, back row, beside of Poppy Curt was the father of Freda Mullins, who was married to Mark, so he is the grandfather to those kids.
Owen Myers, also in the back row, was the father of Marian Myers who was married to Paul, and grandfather to all those kids.
Back in those days, we all lived close together, and could see most of our cousins all the time.
now, unfortunately, we have spread far and wide from the little company owned community of Swandale, so we can only hope to get together at reunions.
mark you calendar and plan to get together on june 10 to rejoice, reconnect, and enjoy the fellowship of family and food.

correction

the previous post has a typo in it.
the location of the 2012 reunion is 1920 park ave.
parkersburg, w.va. 26101

you know, if you go on the msn weather page and put in the zip code in the blank at the top of the page, and then bring up the weather for that zip code--in this case 26101--you can click on the little map at the left of the page, and that will bring up a big map.
you can go up to the top of that page and click on bird's eye view, and get a pictorial view of the area.
so if you want to, you can look at city park from your own computer, or you can even look at my house. and, i can look at yours.
for instance, massillon is 44647, and i can look at houses or stores there, just now i was looking at the home depot store.
or if you want to, you can look down on my house in vienna.
and that is for free. i expect that if you subscribed to something like google earth, you could see in real time.


it is a wonderful tool to be able to see an actual view of whereever you want to go, just by clicking on the computer.
so, click away, find parkersburg city park, and come to the reunion on june 10, 2012.
