In 1970 I came back from trip to Orlando Fla. to Pensacola Fla. after my high school graduation with my 2 uncles Jerry and Danny. Our ages at the time were 17, 18,19. Yes my uncles were one year older and one year younger. When we got back to Pensacola, we stopped at my grandmothers, Jerry and Danny's moms house.. She had fried chicken cooked and we all grabbed a piece and leaned up against my convertible Pontiac Lemans and proceeded to eat. At some point someone took our picture. Since that day we have managed to get together for 50 years every ten years and take a picture with the same pose. It's interesting to see the changes over that time,especially since we had our shirts off in the original pose we have taken them off for every pose since. That first picture was in 1970, the picture in 1980 was taken when my 5 uncles and my dad, who has since died came to visit me in North Dakota. The picture in 1990 was taken in Pensacola Fla. when we all were together for my grandmothers funeral. In 2000 the picture was taken in Sturgis S. Dakota with our motorcycles during the annual motorcycle rally held there, at that time our ages were 47,48 and 49 with my uncle Jerry being the oldest. In 2010 our picture was taken at a Crowdus family reunion in Pensacola Fla. We will continue our tradition as long as we are alive regardless of our health or physical appearance. I hope to be able to download or upload the pictures for this story, if not please get in touch so I can do so. It's actually pretty cool.
