I think I recognize some of these faces. Starting on the front row, it looks like my Uncle Jack kneeling. Next to him is my father Keith with the bib overalls (see Dad's comments about bib overalls in a previous post.) That is definitely my aunt Luana standing a head taller than Keith. It looks like it might be my Grandpa West on the back row peeking over the head of a tall lady in front of him. But who are the rest of the people and where are they? It looks like they are in a red rock canyon in southern Utah.My guess is that the rest of the people are relatives from California. I remember Grandpa talking about how when the family from California would come to visit, they always liked to go to the mountains on a picnic. On one such occassion, Grandma was helping pack the picnic lunch. Being the organizer that she was, she stuffed a back of peanuts into an empty container that was already packed for the picnic. What she didn't realize was that the container was a coffee grinder. The mistake wasn't noticed until Uncle Roy (I think that was his name) said to his wife Margaret (Grandpa's sister), "Maggy, that is the damnedest coffee I have ever tasted!"
