Richter Family Reunion

I'm back!   Where to start after my wonderful month back home?  I've decided to start with one of the highlights of  the summer.  July 3 to July 6 we had a family reunion in Troy, Idaho.  Above are the early birds who were brave enough to sign up for the golf tournement.

Below are the origins of our Richter Reunion.  The old man bottom row is Albert J Richter, son of Gottleib Richter who came over from Germany.  The old lady on the same bottom row is Lona Stark Richter who was a twin and we thought of English decent, but one cousin did an extensive research into the origins and the Stark family actually came from Scotland but were probably German soldiers sent to fight the English!  Then sought refuge in Scotland when they lost.  The seven children of these two and shown below are Bessie, Ida, Otto, Vivien, Guy, Pearle, & Ruby.  The oldest was my Grandmother and she is the one on the bottom left.  The children of these have met every 3 to 5 years for reunions.  Most being back on the old home place in North Dakota, some being up in a camp in Montana, and this year for the second time being in Troy, Idaho.  Every family but Vivien's were represented this year.  A total of over 60 people from many states and generations gathered.  For the next few days I'll describe our wonderful times together this year.
