| Dishing up at the Family Fun Night spaghetti supper. |
Kenny and I attended Family
Fun Night with the Spaghetti Supper at the Community Club/Gym. I think they
served between 60-100 people so it was a rather disappointing turnout. The free
will offering will go towards the Community Club building upkeep. The food was
great!

I have a three-generation picture
that was taken in March 2017. It shows
members of the Roseann Cunningham family. It is of her granddaughter, Abby, who
is 5 months old, Abby’s parents, Sarah (Roseann’s daughter) and Aaron Proctor
and Grandmother Roseann. Roseann is called Sue now. Sue’s parents were Georgia
and Verr Cunningham, so she was a sister to Larry.
