It was an ordinary day. We were on the back porch at mom and dad's house for a picnic and decided it was time for some family photos. We had everyone together for dinner and it was time to document history. Four generations were here today. First we lined up the girls. Mom wanted to take the photo in front of the baby carriage that she used to push me from the 6oo block of South Prince Street to Central Market in the center of Lancaster. Lined everyone up and I took the photo. Picture included my mom Dottie, my wife Carol, our daughter Brynn and our granddaughter and Brynn's daughter, Courtney. Next it was time for
the guys. I stood to the left and next to me was our son Derek who was holding our grandson and Derek's son Caden and then my dad Paul. These pictures feature four generations on my side of the family. My wife's parents died when they were in their 50s. We have, and so have our children and grandchildren, missed them so much for many years. Two years ago my dad died so I thought it was time to publish the photos now so all can see them. They have all been part of the extraordinary stories of an ordinary guy that I have told over the past 8 months. Story in memory of my dad Paul.
