Knowing you all these years I can see you had help in putting this together. The pictures are great! I believe I saw a photo or two of some of the Clyde Barrow gang...and what's with all the cows? I saw a very handsome picture of me when I was a little guy, but then Mimi pointed out that it was Gene. Seriously though, great job and many fond memories resurfaced as I was going through them...except when Grandmother use to whip Jimmy Kohut and me when we were kids visiting the old homestead during the summer. Of course it was always Jim's fault. I'll close for now and Mimi and I will look diligently for any good looking shots of the Ray Clan over the years. Semper Fi (that's Marine speak for "Always Faithful)! Jack (also known as, Jacky...Blanche's boy) | | | Post Reply | Display replies to this message

It's crazy and also beautiful watching them grow. Mostly knowing they believe in God. And trust in Jesus. Specially with all this craziness in the world, What a wonderful relief and comfort.. .. All children are gifts from God.
I still am loving the jewelry biz.. I love to take worn out centamental peices that are broken.. and repairing .Cleaning and shinning back to showroom case mint conditon!! Making peices. Selling retail jewelry but not at retail price..
This is very fullfilling to me.
My favorite highlights of the reunions..
--Grandma Peele , Aunt Snook . and Aunt Virginia singing a beautiful hymn ...
Thru a huge window fan!!! It was painfully funny..<} I was under 13..
---I love sittting by the pool and wathcing 15 plus kids that are kin. mostly only seeing them once a year. playing and laughing together as if they are the best of friends. sports eating swimming joking... Its phenomenal..
--Tops.. By far.. Is Uncle Irving.. since I can remeber.. Always made me feel EXCEPTED. just as I was..what ever fashion fad was rolling thru..or attitude I had..,, I WILL never forget Oldnelly,, and IP..is 2 horses..I spent so much time with those incredible animals. Nelly bit my knee once,, I cried like a baby.. Not because it hurt, but becuase it hurt my feelings..Uncle Irving to the rescue.. dried my tears, and talk me till I was smiling. My grandma would take me there a few days at a time ..and we would stay at the pond..Wild Uncle Irving would make me LAUGH.. and think. and experience all the animals..and Gods beauty {everywhere}. nothing like the beach. {city{ I always felt proud and important when he was around me.. and most of all very pretty..
He was so sweet and just perfect.. I love ya Uncle Irvin.. You were always a comfort to me.. I miss you....
Hi Dad..I love you, and looking forward to the next dinner you come over and cook with the girls..i belive you said Homemade pizza's .. healthy pizza with no fat ! Right.. L.O.L... I also love the red hotdogs. You know as well as I do we soon will meet @ Toni's Hotdogs for lunch.. They also are very addicting..
This time I'll stay under 3 dogs...
Kerry Lynn.... I miss ya girl.... Hope all is going well with you...
I love ya.. Hope the girls and Brian are well! The girls are beside me and tell me to haayyyy... Cant wait to see ya..
Stephanie.. The last reunion, I was chatting with your father.. and he was on cloud nine... Couldn't wait to meet his next grandbaby!! ... You should have seen him floating. and gleaming.

First I would like to thank and commend Jerry for doing a wonderful job on the website. Sandra and I think it looks great.
I will let Sandra speak for herself (believe me she can do it) about any memories she may have. I met Sandra when I was 18 and went with Blanche, Ed, and Sandra quite often to Micro to visit Jack and Bertha and the 1,000 or so other family members. After church, we always ate lunch at Jack and Bertha's house. I always looked forward to any meal at their house because I loved those red Carolina hot dogs. They were on the table at every meal. I still eat them today.
The other memory that I have is about the other meat that was on the table. If there was fat on it, Jack was going to eat it. I would shiver when I saw him take a big bite of fat. He must have been living good because it didn't seam to cause any health problems. At least you couldn't prove it by his age. He passed that liking on to Blanche. She also loves Fat and she is 83.

Hope some will tell us some good stories about Jack and Bertha and the 16 children from years gone by. If you wouldn't have said it in front of Mrs Bertha, don't think I'm going to approve it for the internet. As large as the Sullivan family is there is bound to be something you might not like about the site. Truth is you don't even have to be kin to the Sullivan Family to be thought of as a part of the Sullivan Clan. If you have trouble believing that, you must have never attended a Sullivan Reunion or never meet Irving Sullivan or been kissed by Dot. Hope you enjoy your site and please visit it often. | | | Post Reply | Display replies to this message
