Sanders Family get together update
There were probably around 60 people there. Most of those were the cousins' kids. I think I counted 15 cousins. Kimberly and Heather (George's girls); Melanie and me; Kevin, Natalie, Sonya, Steven, and Stephanie (John's kids); Amy (Jim's girl); Heather and Richard (Chris'); Cheryl (Barbara's); and tall Paul (that's what Natalie called him) and his brother (Woodland). George and Jackie, Aunt Chris, Barbara and Don, Jim, and Lucille were there. Anyway, Kevin Sanders and his sister Sonya put it together. It was really nice. They had games set up for the kids to play and there was a playground. We all brought our own lunch and treats and snacks to share. We mostly just sat around talking. It was good to catch up. I think everybody I talked to asked how the family was, especially mom and dad. Kevin and Natalie would love to hear stories from dad about their dad. They know they did crazy things, but would love to hear some stories. Somebody get those out of dad and type them up. They would also like to get a picture compilation together. It would be fun to see all of the cousins and their families so we can figure out who belongs to who. I'm in charge of getting pictures from our family, so get to work on getting some to me. A family picture would be good. Or a couple picture and then individuals of your kids.

One of our patients at work was talking about growing up in Nyssa. I asked her if she knew any Sanders. Boy did she! =) Uncle John escorted her to the harvest ball - she was the queen. She remembers dad and Elsa, Virginia, Olga. There was a Sanders every year. =) She brought her pic album to work and there were several pics of her and John and she brought all her school albums marked where the Sanders were. She printed me a pic of her and john on dance night and a current one of her and her husband. Her husband was also from Nyssa. He is our Mayor here in Lebanon. SHERI
Wish you had taken pictures to post so we could see what everyone looks like now. Guess you were to busy visiting to take pictures.
