Welcome to my dad's family album
This page is just a little about my dad, Gilbert and the family.
It is said my Grandma Mac only had one love of her life, my granddad.
When they moved to Kansas, it was said she cried all the way because she was leaving her family and friends behind.
But she lived the rest of her life in Ellinwood, Kansas. She was a thread in the fabric of the community for over forty years.
One of the fun things about our family is the fact the Uncle LeRoy is one year younger than his nephew, Dennis.
They grew up like brothers until Uncle Gene moved to Pratt, Kansas. Then they still remained close until Dennis married and moved to the state of Washington. They still have a brotherly closeness today.
I don't know when they moved the house into Ellinwood but it was there by the time my folks got married because Grandma Mac told a story of how mom crawled over her cedar chest in the basement before it was given to her (either for her birthday or Christmas).
