The Taylor families 15th anniversary reunion was held this year at Arrowhead State Lake here in Oklahoma. These are some of the pictures that were taken at this years reunion. This years reunion did not have a lot of attendees of previous years, maybe because of the economy. But more likely it was because of babies being born and illnesses. It is our hope that everyone will be able to attend next June. I hope it is not scheduled for next July as I have a class reunion July 2, 3 and 4, 2010.

Ryan Albright also had been deployeed to Iraq. Aunt Louise passed away earlier this year. Aunt Wilma had medical problems. Kyle was busy moving to a new place in Stillwater and starting new employeement. Tom and family were having a baby.

It was a very hot reunion this year, with temperatures in the high 90′s and very little winds. Plus the flies were bad. Even the camp site had a few problems. The refrigerator had just broken down and the walk-in refrig was not putting out much cool air. The Corp Ranger said the replacements had not yet been received.  

We really don’t have the space for all the pictures that have been provided from various people that did attend the reunion, but we do have a DVD covering the reunion. We have about 400 pictures of which 300  plus are on the DVD. This is available to you if you would like a copy. Just send a request to:

Grandma Loveless was a McFadden. Cleo McFadden Olsen was a very large part of all the activities that covered the Loveless families activities in the Marion area. I can’t remember a time from the 1930′s though this year when Cleo was not around. She stayed with Grandpa and Grandma Loveless when she was in high school as she lived on the farm north of Marion. Her place was a meeting place for us over the many years since the passing of Grandpa, Grandma, Helen, Mildred, Howard, Dorothy and Dad. She will certainly be missed.

Below are the funeral hand-outs as well as her obituary. More pictures will added as I find them.

The tree in back of Karen’s place was really quite old and unfortunately was dead. About all that could be done was to have the tree removed. It was completely over the house and if it fell, it would certainly take down the house. Now this is an old tree. My guess is that it is/was somewhere about 70 to 80 years old.

One photo is missing from this post. It was lost from the blog years ago, before this copy was made. If you have it, please send it to genealogy@kyle.engineer.

Its hard to believe, but we have snow in Tulsa Oklahoma today.  I’ve tried to get pictures of the snow falling but I guess that takes a video. Later – Annouced over the tube that we’ve had 3 1/2 inches of snow as of 11 AM and it started snowing here at the house at 9 AM. They said it would continue snowing at least thru 7 PM this evening. If all that is true then the total amount is going to be 17 1/2 inches. I’ll need help with the snow shovels if that is true. We’ll probably also need air drops of food. My poor apple and peach trees are probably not going to do very well this year.

   March 28 Snow 

March 29 – According to the National people Tulsa had 6 inches of snow yesterday. According to our ruler, we had 7, 8 and 8 1/2 inches. Thus we had 7.83 inches. Its probably lucky we didn’t have colder temperatures or the 1.6 inches of rain before the snow would have been another 6 to 9 inches of snow. Anyway, these next pictures were taken after the snow had stopped or about stopped yesterday evening.
