1967 The Reese family together

In 1967 the Reese family gathered for a photo in the living room of their home in Dallas, at 6665 Lakewood Blvd. These are grandparents, aunt and uncles of Anne, Bill and Margaret Reese.

In back are Marian Lu Reese, Marian and Tom F. Reese

More about Marion Reese

This clipping shows Marion with three of her granddaughters.  Vivian the baby is closest to Anne Flavia in age. Marion was very active in the Ladies Auxiliary of St. Matthews Episcopal Church and so was her sister, Laura Lu Bruton.  They enjoyed making the garments, aprons, and other items.

At one time Marion was president of the auxiliary I think.

Be sure to enlarge the picture so you can see the date, and Marion's pretty face.

The Reese clan in Dallas

Hayne's family lived at 6665 Lakewood Blvd. in Dallas.  Their house was built in the 1920's I believe.  It was two-story, with a fireplace in the living room and a butler's pantry between the kitchen and the dining room.  There was a sun porch where Marian Reese put the tree at Christmas. Sometimes she made a playground for all the grandchildren by taking the sofa cushions off the sofa and putting them on the floor so they could climb in and out of the sofa all day.

Here is a short slide show of photos Hayne made in the mid 1950's.  The children in the slide show are children of Hayne's sister, Marian Lou, and her husband, Percy Leucke.

Eastland High School Band

This picture was made at the State Fair of Texas about 1950. After an invitation that Daddy received,  the band went to Dallas for the day.  We marched in a half time show at the Cotton Bowl that evening.

If you look to the right in the first row seated you will see Don Smith with his oboe.  My place was in the center of the same row, behind the music stands.  I played flute from the age of 10.

This music festival was an annual event at the fair in those days.  We took everybody on school buses, and a good time was had by all concerned.
