Bernice

...Mom...

This is just a test page at the very beginning, a sketch pad, as it were...

(Here's a late-breaking pic from Ron S:)

Nice one of Mom and Dad!

For now, there don't seem to be many good pictures in the archives; therefore, this will be just a start...

Bernice came from Ida and Samuel.  (A baby picture should go here, but none are available at this time...)

In no particular order, here are some available pictures, just to get things started...

but first, a couple new photo index pages will be inserted, one for the 50th Anniversary Party,

and the other for the trip to Mexico, the same month as the 50 Party.

Let them eat cake...and there was cake... Click the picture to the left to see an index page for photos from their 50th Anniversary Party.

Bernice and Dick at the beach, at sunset...  Click the picture to the left to see pictures from the Family trip to Mexico, just after the party.

That was a new test...Here are some more pictures...

Here are Bernice and (Grandma Hilda and Grandpa Alfred's son) Richard, in Mexico, February 2003,

celebrating their 50th Anniversary (with all their kids and grandkids):

Here is a picture with Bernice, with her daughter Karen and her folks, Grandma Ida and Grandpa Sam:

Here is a picture of Bernice and Richard's three kids, Larry, Karen and Steve (from left to right).

Larry, Karen, Steve, perhaps on way to Jerry and Rochelle's wedding, circa 1965??

Here are a few more pictures with one or more of us kids, first, back on the lawn...

Now a shot from the early days, pre-Larry:

Karen and Steve trying to nap on couch, for the benefit of this publicity shot...

Here's Karen getting a licking, with Steve pre-occupied...

Here is young Karen, a little older, standing in front of the new door at the Parkwood house.

In the spirit of showing pics in no particular order, Larry is pictured, a few years later, in the following photo,

with the Greatest Hockey Player of All-Time, Mr. Hockey, in fact...Gordie Howe #9!

Gordie and Larry face off!

Here is a very nice photo of Grandma Bernice with (then) baby Alexis, daughter of Larry and Barbara.

Here is a great (and very colorful) picture of her with Barbara and Gabriel on some very fun ride:

Here is a nice shot of Grandma Angel with Grandpa Booomp (with loving granddaughter Emily):

Bernice and Dick 

Here is a nice picture of Gabriel on Grandpa's shoulders.

Gabriel way up on Grandpa's shoulders...

 

 

Skipping back to about the time Bernice was born, following is a great picture of her not so soon to be husband Richard, as a child on skates, near the family car.

Young Richard Gach on skates in front of cool car...

A bit later...here is a picture with Grandpa Alfred and Grandma Hilda (celebrating her birthday?), with Uncle Paul, Aunt Evie, Jerry and Rod, and with new daughter-in-law, young Bernice, wife of Richard, who likely took this picture (it is speculated that at that time Bernice was about to give birth to Steve...)

Grandma Hilda birthday party with Mom, perhaps about to give birth the following week!

That's all for now, folks...it's time for bed!  G'night everybody!!

So...Genetics, marriage, remarriage, adoption; it all counts!  All family members, however linked, are welcome to contribute a page(s) or link(s) to the tree of pages.  The more the merrier! 

All pictures are welcome if you would like me to post them.  We may even be able to post videos if we play our cards right...!  I have scanned a few pictures and will just start with those and see how it grows.  Don't have much time to work on this...we will be working on making the website more secure in the very near future, so get your passwords ready, folks!
