Back in the 60's the Sack family really knew how to host a family reunion, and I recently found these pictures that were taken during reunions in 1966 and 1968.  The 1966 party was at Sloan's Lake, and it looks like everyone was having a lot of fun visiting and playing games.  I recognize most of the people in the pictures, but have a look and see if you can help me identify everyone.

In this photo my sister Sharon is in the foreground, and I am next to her with my back turned.  Trudy Ernst-Ririe is in the background, and I believe that may be Marie on the blanket and Louise next to her with her arm and leg up in the air.

  Here are the two ladies again on the blanket.  Marie and Louise?

Here is my Grandma Ethel Piper giving Trudy a BIG hug, and in her hand she is holding her ever present cigarette.  She always had a cigarette in her hand until she started smoking the cigars.

Linda Trask, and Trudy; AGAIN, gosh girl, you were popular at this party.

This is Uncle Adrian, and I must admit I used to call him Uncle Frankenstein when I was a kid, because he was so tall.

In 1968 when the family got together my mother had a new Polaroid camera with color film!  Here is a nice picture of all the Sack siblings at the reunion: Ethel, Dorothy, Adrian, Marie, Betty, Shirley and Sue. Three of their siblings died prior to 1968:  Elizabeth died at birth in Philadelphia (4-13-1909), Catherine died shortly after the family arrived in Denver (9-14-1912), and Jack died at age 27 on 12-13-1947.
