Here's another photo I found of my gr-gr-aunt Let Casto Reynolds. Courtesy Betty Briggs' WV Pioneers.

I found this picture of a younger Loretta Casto on Betty Briggs' site, WV Pioneers. She's also in a picture with my gr-gr-grandmother Elizabeth Casto Crane and their sister and brothers.

Grandad Anderson

My cousin Jody sent me a link to a new (to me) picture of my Grandad Anderson as a young man. Got me started climbing my "tree" again. Here is Omer on the right with his friend Everett Robie on the left.

Just thought I would add these pictures of my extended family, Hayes Carpenter with his grandson Brian Nutter, and Brian with his dad, Keith Nutter (young and older).

I Can't Complain

I just have to post this video I found on the net tonight of one of my favorite songs by the original author and artist--Don Johnson, former Superintendent of ALJC. I learned the song off of his album years ago and have sung it ever since then.

New Bluegrass Gospel Band

I joined a bluegrass gospel band last month. I met them through mutual friends on Facebook, and then discovered Joey is my 2nd cousin!

We've done a couple of sings so far and I'm really enjoying it. I play the fiddle for the group.

Here's a portrait of the group before I joined. Members include Joey and Susan Boggess and Savanah Sims.

Also is a picture of Joey and Susan's family. I love those kids!

New Link

I've added a new link on the right of my blog for those of you who would like to check out Lisa Collins' 5th grade daughter Bayley Collins' column in an online newspaper, The Anchor.
