Denise Fletcher was rummaging through some old photo albums and came across these pictures taken at the 1987 Family Gathering, which was held at May O'Connell's home in San Jose. All but one of these pictures appear to have been taken at the park across the street from May's home. Dee-Dee's camera seemed to have been mainly focused on the children present, which is probably as it should be.

Up top, that's Dee-Dee's two sons, Curt and Chad Hardcastle. Seated is Dan O'Connell's daughter, April O'Connell, with Maureen and Pablo Galindo's two daughters, Marianna and Anica. |

Bill and Pamela Diffley's daughter, Caitlin. |

Mary Pat Kraemer and daughter, Christina. |

That's me, believe it or not, trying to take a nap while Curt Hardcastle decides my hair needs pulling. |

Dan O'Connell's son, John. |

I'm pretty sure this is Anica with mom, Maureen Galindo. Plus Paula with mom, Marianne Gazzano. |

Pablo Galindo riding herd on the crew. The blue shirt is Chad Hardcastle, the orange shirt is his brother, Curt. Pablo's daughter, Anica, sits on his lap, and Pablo's son, Rodrigo, is on the far right. |

Bill Diffley with son, Trevor. |

Trevor, with a bat as big as he is. |

Trevor again. This is the only picture not taken in the park, so I'm not sure where we are here. I wish the picture had included a bit more of the unusual conveyance Trevor is piloting. It looks like an airplane with what appears to be the word Diffley across the wing. Do you still have that one in the garage, dad? |
