Four Generations of Dixons


With a fifth generation in full bloom, it's a good time to look back into the wonderful era of the 1980's to catch a glimpse of the Dixon clan. It's 1986, and the clan is at their annual Memorial Day get-together at Killbuck Park.


My Aunt Janet found this picture recently and Uncle Don forwarded it on. My particular sub-branch isn't there for this picture... and wasn't there for any of the Memorial Day picnics in the 80's... because Floridians didn't consider Memorial Day a holiday (it was originally a "Union" holiday!) and we had to conduct school on that day.


Yes, some of the babies in this picture are having babies! Our daughter Sarah, who couldn't join in the picnic fun in 1986, just had her third... Brody Lawrence Sain's his name. His brothers, Elliot and Zachery, can't wait for him to get big enough to play.


I hope we keep finding these old family pictures. And yes, a picure from the 90's is considered old now.


Can you identify everybody in the picture? Are you there?
