The Forty-Fifth Annual Thanksgiving Dinner for the descendants of the Roy and Nellie Newfarmer family was the highlight of our year. When there are seventy people for dinner you have to be organized. We have carving an serving committees, games and a family quilt everyone sews on. A silent auction pays for the three turkeys. More families should be proud of their heritage.

The last thing I did before leaving for San Francisco after my dad died was watch fireworks explode over the St. Louis arch on the Fourth of July. Two days later I crested a hill on Route 80 and saw the expanse of San Francisco Bay for the first time. It was so beautiful I cried. St. Louis, Missouri, from the series "Leisure"

The Rotary Club has 752,000 members in 150 countries. It was started in 1905 by a group of businessmen for their mutual benefit. The name derives from the original plan to "rotate" the location of each meeting. Today Rotary is a club devoted to four types of service: Club, Community, Vocational and International. We are still growing and add at least one new club to our worldwide membership every day. Tri-Valley Area, Northern California, from the series "Our Kind of People"
