PicnicAtCrumsPondApril1963 This was a few years before Dad started building the house, which would have been in this picture. You can see grandpa Offutt’s barn in the background on the right.

PicnicAtCrumsPondApril1963 – Looks like David and I were having fun, but Mark isn’t so sure. Left to right: Mom (Joyce), Pat (in yellow), uncle Jim McConnell in back, Ed McConnell, Rhonda Dold (?), Dad (Walter Crum) in back, Me (Joe), David, Sharon McConnell, Calvin McConnell in back, Mark, Ocie McConnell, Grandpa Crum in back, Lu McConnell (back turned), Lloyd Dold, Pauline Dold. Grandma Crum was the photographer. I remember this picnic; I think it was the only time we had a picnic at the pond.

OceanReefKeyLargoJan10_1963 Grandpa Crum in a pose that was frequently repeated. He was probably thinking (Ok, here I am, take the picture…) 🙂

MomsFishAug29_1963_1PM; a great picture of Grandma Crum, with a nice bass she caught in the farm pond.

LaborDayAtBudPrathersSept2_1963_3 Mark Crum, Ed McConnell, David Crum, and I can’t recall the other 2, cousins I’m sure.

LaborDayAtBudPrathersSept2_1963_2 ; I’m not sure what’s going on here, but it must have been interesting. Maybe a snake…

KidsNov1963 Apparently I wasn’t quite prepared for this one, nor was Pat. In fact, it seems to have been a shot where we all had to look straight into the sun. Better lighting, but eyes mostly closed. 🙂

KidsAtGrandmasHalloween1963 I’m not sure why there are only 3 of us here. I remember that plate on the wall with all of the presidents at that time (up to JFK). This picture was taken just a few weeks before JFK was assassinated.

KidsAtBudPrathersLaborDaySept2_1963 : Sharon McConnell, Kathy Prather, Rex Prather, (can’t recall the 4th cousin’s name), Pat Crum

JoeDavidMarkSept4_1963 Grandma just wanted to take a picture of her flowers, I imagine. She grew some nice flowers.
