The Pollock reunion since ....1947

The descendants of William Washington Pollock will be gathering within 2 miles of the old homeplace (no longer standing). Daddy has kept up the graveyards, our old burying grounds, so that our Pollock people can visit and ponder their past. Both of the graveyards are in the edge of the woods on some of the old Pollock land. Grandma told me that when her nephew Victor was release by the Japanese in 1947 the Pollock reunion was born and it has been going on ever since. We remember with a candle WWPollock and his three consecutive wives and the 21 brothers and sister. Everyone brings food and we eat. There are alot of mini reunions going on within the big one as the members of various extended families pull up close to each other.

Last year, my new son, Luke was born on the 3rd of June and he and his mom didn't get released in time to attend. I rushed the doctor but to no avail. Wendy says I rushed labor, too. It didn't pay off in the end. Live and learn.

Now it looks like Luke's birthday is going to come around at the same time as the reunion.....every year. Our closest kin will start coming in tomorrow and converge at Mom and Dad's and that is where we will have a well attended party for Luke. We are going to have cake and a wading pool, and probably a few other things. Here is a picture of Luke just getting ready to turn one year old.
