The Albert and Flora (Koch) Family

I am utilizing these days to work with some pictures of family that came from various sources at different times. This Albert and Flora Flowerday family picture was taken in August of 1968. We had moved to the Washington, D.C. area in 1962 but managed to get back to visit family every summer. Flora's sister Lydia Brinkmeyer, is seated next to her and Albert. Joyce, Bill, Dale and Elaine are standing behind their folks. Joyce's husband is standing in the back row behind her. Bill and his wife are standing at the left edge along with daughters Jeanie and Willa Kay between Ldia and Flora. Dale and Alice are standing between Elaine and Joyce. Their 4 boys are in the front row along with our son Jon. Verlon and Tim in the back row with Carolyn and Jon on the right edge. I took the picture. The next picture was taken just 7 years later in August of 1975 and reflects changes.
It is apparent that Dale took the later, colored picture since I'm on the right edge with Elaine and Jon. Verlon is top left and Carolyn lower left. Joyce and Les are back center and Bill is alone next to Flora with Tim between and in back of them. Alice is between Joyce and Elaine  with Charles in front of her. Stan is middle left edge, Ken in the back row between Verlon and Joyce. Richard is the little guy in the front row right. The four Flowerday boys appear to have changed the most during the 7 years. We never had the opportunity to get to know Richard very well and appreciate following him as well as the rest of the family on Facebook.

  1. Dad, I believe the four boys in front (next to Jon) are Stan, John (Bill's son), Rich, and Ken. I don't think Charles is in this picture.
