While surfing the Internet one evening, I came across this picture. I recognized many of the faces. For example, the man on the left is my wife's Grandpa Nichols. Next to him is his daughter Rosemary Wilson, my wife's mother. Fourth from the left, with her arms crossed, is my future bride, Christine.
I'm sure this picture must have been taken at a family reunion. Does anyone know when and where it was taken? Can you help me identify who else is in the picture? (Hint, I do see Grandma Nichols on the back row, near the right end. Lori is third from the left on the front row looking down. And that baby in Rosemary's arms must be Karen.)
When I joined the Wilson clan almost thirty years ago, I inherited a long tradition of Nichol's family reunions. After attending my first one, it was apparent to me that this was a deeply ingrained tradition of the Nichols' and one that had endured many generations and would probably endure many more. I have been fortunate to have been part of most of the reunions that have been held in the ensuing years. We have changed the name from the Nichol's Family Reunion to the Wilson's Family Reunion, but the tradition continues...
That was a Nicholls' family reunion up at "Camp Norland" in Northern Ontario. It was a Baptist camp that we held reunions at for quite a few years. I have fun memories from those times.
