The Ten, Again

 

1966. Must be the Summer after Kostaki and Petro Graduated High School, as their Senior Photos are seen on the Mantle. They graduated the same year as Petro had skipped a grade in Elementary.

 

The Ten. 1965. Though this photo was badly damaged, enough touch-up was done to make it presentable, but without distorting facial images. It is worth preserving all photos one can manage such that each facial expression, each emotion, each phase of development of each identity, each emotion therein is available for the curious onlooker, for the future progeny of these.

 

Nine of The Ten. This was taken at the famous 1993 large Family Reunion gathering. Meka was unable to attend. Timothy had not been back to Syracuse for 10 years since departing in 1983 for Alaska. As Summer approached, conversations unfolded, momentum ensued, logistics set-in-motion, and all the California families arranged to make the trip; extended family in Schenectady, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, etc. were contacted, even a couple of elders from Greece were there. [See the link of the Parents' Interview video on the Video page, which concludeds with footage of many cameos of those who attended.] Other photos from that summer to appear as a link on the Main Page .

 

The Ten together for the Celebration of their parents' 60th Wedding Anniversary, 2008. Other photos from that formal evening's gather as well as from a following cordial gathering at Otisco Lake available on the Main Page under the photos list.
