Verda’s Reunions

July 10, 2015 /

Verda Case Springsteen Olsen gathered her family for reunions every year from almost as far back in time as I can remember. That tradition has been carried on to this day, and it’s almost time to gather the clan again.

For over a decade now we’ve been joining for pot luck dinners at the East Riverside Park in Belding, thanks to arrangements made by Dave and Margaret Cranmer.

Here are a few old pictures. Who can identify the people in these photos for me? I don’t know them all.

Frank, Avey, Elsie, Loretta, Pete, Ed, Charlie, Verda, and John Case

I’m a descendant of Staats’ brother Casper. I enjoyed reading all of the things you found on Staats. He seems to have been quite the character.

  Donna, yes Staats certainly does seem to have been quite a character.
