The Christmas List - 1926

Adelbert Asay
our favorite Santa

The first Adelbert Asay family reunion was held August 30, 1957 at the old house in Lovell.  At this time the family was organized with officers and goals. One of the high-lights of the evening was a box of momentos found under the floor during recent renovating of the old family home.  Articles were held up for the owners to claim .... old shoes, hammer etc.  The prize item was Grandma's Christmas shopping list for December 10, 1926:
