Raegan Christina O'Bryan - Correction!

Oops! I'm terribly sorry. I misspelled Raegan's name in the original post. I had her name as Reagan Christine O'Bryan, but the correct spelling is Raegan, not Reagan - and it's Christina, not Christine. Hey, I did manage to get the last name right. :)

Along with the correction, I've posted some pictures of Raegan Christina O'Bryan I just got from Uncle Ray. Uncle Ray was right. She *IS* cute as a button!

Check out the original, corrected post here:

Thomas Washington Witham - Camp Ripley 1964

Here is a photo my cousin Kevin Pruiett (Thank you, Kevin!) just sent me. It's a photo of my grandpa (Tom Witham) at Camp Ripley in 1964. This must be a National Guard or Army Reserve photo. Grandpa is standing right behind the cooks in the photo. I included the original photo and a blown-up version to show you where grandpa is standing. (As always, you can click on the photos to view them at a larger size.)

'Bound To Be Bound' Book Bindery

My grandpa (Tom Witham) used to work at this book bindery in Jacksonville, IL. He talked about it all the time. I believe other family members used to work there, as well, including Aunt Marjorie.

I got this photo of the book bindery from my cousin, Kevin Pruiett (Thank you, Kevin!). It isn't dated. My grandpa is in the back row in the center. I included the original photo and one marked in red to show you where my grandpa is standing. (Just click on the photos for a larger view.)

And here are a few photos I took of the book bindery while I was in town for the 2011 Witham Family Reunion.
