P.46 Jim's Eastern Kansas Meadow Lark

In Western Kansas Wilda tried to show us a Meadow Lark so we could take a picture of it. As usual the Eastern Kansas Descendants succeeded when we got back in the East. See our Meadow Lark below. You are likely thinking this is not a Meadow Lark because there are corn fields all around. Wrong. That is why this one is bigger than the typical lark.

2007 Reunion a Success

Hello,
The 2007 reunion was a success! The adults talked until their lips fell off and the kids had fun also. Pictures will be posted here weekly until the next reunion as I have time. Here are some housekeeping items:
  • THANKS. Many people helped make the reunion a success. You know who they are. Thank them during connection week.
  • The List. There were about 66 present +/- 3. I will type up the list in a week or so and distribute it by email and other methods for those who don't have email.
  • Connection week. Clare, Cecilia, Julia, Roy and Jim agreed that the first 7 days of each month is connection week. We will call each other and talk for a few minutes even if we have no "real" news. This seemed a better plan than calling when something bad happens.
  • Blog posts. Between Roy and myself we took 927 pictures at the reunion or the immediate vicinity on Fri, Sat & Sun.
      • All 2007 reunion posts will have a Label "07 Reunion" just like this one. Click that and you will see only posts with that Label. If you want to see older reunion posts find one and click on the Label under it "Reunion Pictures." You can also find the labels listed on the right side of the blog.
      • If you click or maybe double click on a picture it will expand to the whole browser window. Use the browser back button to return to the blog.
      • I encourage you to post comments to the pictures and to each other's comments.
        • BUT, please use first names. No addresses, phone numbers, last names or detailed personal information. This is in the public domain-ANYONE can see it. I think it is OK to list the first names of people in the pictures. Use connection week or email to pass detailed personal information.
        • Be kind. Focus on the good in others.
        • Have fun.
        • ANY comment violating the first two rules will be deleted.
      • You could start a blog and post your pictures. It is easy. Click "Create Blog" in the upper right of this web page. I will put links to any blogs so when you visit this one to can easily move to others.
