From where they came... Margeret and Nolan moved to Gladstone from their family home on College in Kansas City, Missouri. Thats where they stayed... and thats were we all call home. There were 5 kids: Bill, Mike, Patricia (Pat), Bob and Peggy. (Pictured here is Pat, Bill, Mike, Grandma (Margaret), and Peggy.)

Mike met Eileen Roberts, and the rest as they say is history. Along came Michelle, Tim, Mark, Carrie, Maureen (me) and Beth. A GREAT bunch of kids if I do say so myself. Ok.. maybe not angels, but pretty damn close. We grew up in Gladstone, Mo. on North Harrison. We all graduated from High Schooland managed to stay out of any major trouble...:))

Mike and Eileen moved to Clinton, Missouri in 1976, where they owned and operated a donut shop. They have recently retired. And are happily settled in Springfield. Michelle lived in SanDiego with her husband Dr.Dennis Reeves, and their children, Andrea and Michael. The kids are currently staying busy with graduate and post graduate studies. Meanwhile, Dennis has "retired" from the Navy and he and michelle have moved to Springfield Mo. Tim is living it up in Southern California. Mark and his wife Cathy are living in Iowa with their daughter Casey. Carrie lives in Lawson, Mo with her husband Johnny Brown. Their children, Benjamin and Jennifer are still in the area attending college. Maureen received a Bachlor of Science Degree in Rehabilitation Psychology and is still in Kansas City. Beth recently lost her battle with breast cancer. (9/03) She leaves her husband Larry McNamara and her two boys Eric and Scott. (She gave all she had to raising her children and creating a happy and loving home...We miss her very much!)

Well I could go on and on. But I think pictures could better tell the story of our life and times together. Check out the links to the left. Share in our fun!! The links of the 'grandkids' in the paragraph above go to .mht pages and are a lot of fun if you have the right browser... :))

Thanks for stopping by... hope you enjoy ....:))
