This picture was taken in 1983 at the annual Carter/Arnold family reunion

Etta married Daniel Derryberry in 1935. He died in 1993. I don't have a picture of him. I have pictures of one (or two?) of their sons. I don't know which one. They had 10 children, four of whom were boys - Stanley, Danny, James and Joseph. I don't know which one is in these pictures. The pictures were taken at the reunion in 1983 and 1984.
