January 10

I don't have pictures of the birthday people today, so... I'm going to post pictures that were taken at a sort of family reunion at my parents' house in Watervliet, Michigan, in 1997, just after they retired and moved back to Michigan from California.

Cleffie Burford (my grandmother)

L-R: Rick, Leslie and Dave Beukelman, Cindy and Kim Thomas, Wathada (my mom)

The two Taylors - On the left is Taylor Thomas (son of my brother John), next to him in the red coat is Taylor Beukelman, daughter of Dave and Leslie Burford Beukelman). On the right is Cindy Haigler. She is the daughter of Bernice Hicks (Cleffie's sister)

Bernarde Thomas, my dad's brother

Eileen Thomas, Bernarde's wife

Red (my dad), Cleffie 

Morris (my mother's brother) and his wife Becky

Cindy and Kim Thomas (Kim is the son of Bernarde and Eileen), the little girl on the left I think is one of their daughters

Kim Thomas

Morris and Becky, Dawn and Greg Thomas (Greg is Bernarde and Eileen's son)

My mom's aunt Bernice and her daughter Cindy Haigler

Dale Haigler, Cindy's husband

There are probably more pictures from this occasion, but I can't locate all of them right now. (They are among the many photos that I have not yet labeled since I scanned them.)
