Sunday, the family celebrated Grandpa's 85 birthday. The
party was held at my work, in the conference room as we needed a large enough
room to hold the 58 immediate family members (24 missing). The room was dressed
in blue and gold (or yellow) for Jesuit and we enjoyed great homemade BBQ food.
Melissa set out pictures of Grandpa and the late Grandma as it wasn't only a
celebration of his birthday but of their 64th wedding anniversary on April 30.
She introduced the Schnitzius genealogy book which she spent many months working on. She also
provided everyone with CD of Grandpas voice recordings of the many stories he
tells and a video of the aunts and uncles telling their stories (with the generous help
of cousin Marc). I'm grateful to have this as it will be a memory I will
cherish forever and be able to pass down generations. (more pics to come)
Here is the family picture with 21 or so family members missing.
