Oh my gosh! It looks like Alice is going over to the "dark side"!

Actually she was in character as "Cruella De Vil" (or is that Cruella DeBall?) for the "Relay for Life 2005" event. When asked by a youngster what she'd done with the puppies, she told him she'd let them all go home. Gon'na spoil Cruella's image if she's not careful!

Cousin Nathan Reed got this picture of my mother with her "traditional" bowl of strawberries and ice cream on Mother's Day. According to Nathan, this has gotten to be a regular tradition out at their place. She looks pretty pleased with it to me!

And I guess now that Nathan's a Dyer Alderman, he's picking up political pointers where ever he can get them - like from Tennessee Governor Bredesen. From what I heard, they shook, howdied, and broke bread at the Governor's luncheon at the annual Strawberry Festival in Humboldt.

Cousin Natalee Reed provided this Christmas 2004 picture of Larry and Jan Edmondson Durbin. Jan is a daughter of Bill and Sally Edmondson of Dyer and discoverer of the Tcotu principle.

Doug Duncan is still doing a booming business at his pharmacy in Dyer.

Earl Ray Pitt included this picture of his horse in his Christmas greetings this year. Didn't catch the name of the horse, but that appears to be Earl up there in the saddle.

Alice Ball McCutcheon, after much prodding, sent along this recent (March 2004) picture. As you can see, Alice is working at the Tennessee Technology Center in Paris these days.
