On Saturday, August 8th, South Sound residents Sandra & Jerry Hard of Shelton, Washington hosted a family reunion for Sandra’s family, the Frieze Family. Twenty-six children, grandchildren, great-grandchild, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and great-greats were present for a barbeque, home movies, and lots and lots of talk. The first reunion in thirty years for some members who had come from as far away as Arizona and Missouri, there was much to talk about and catch up on.

Those members who were not present were not forgotten. They were represented in favorite recipes, pieces of jewelry, and the faces of those who loved them. The family hopes that there will be more such meetings without such a long interval between.

You look like you have a really lovely family!
Thanks! We are a diverse lot (and I'm the most diverse) and I adore every one of them.
Family, family, family... one of the greatest gifts we have to offer one another... the intimacy that comes with being close to one another...
