Family photos so good we ought to charge you to see them

The scrapbook editor, after a hard night at work in her new job of bossing reporters around as they try to find out who shot whom and why (if there's room, we'll also include what, when and where), couldn't be more pleased to come home in the middle of the night and find an e-mail bearing such priceless photos as these. We are so glad Uncle Elmer-Joe got a new scanner! He wrote that these photos don't need to be posted, he just thought the scrapblog editor might enjoy seeing them, but there's zero chance that the scrapblog editor would get photos like these and NOT post them. They were taken in 1979 at Joe and Mavis' 30th wedding anniversary celebration at their home in Eau Claire, Wis. Many Spricks are present, as well as some folks we don't recognize, who may be LaMonts, from Mavis' side. We love the Sprick aunties' clearly fresh, perfectly round hairdos, the kids chortling in the window, the 1970s fashions, little Tanya in a Superman shirt, and cousin Davy and his cousin Bobby LaMont tossing Sarah soon-to-be-Sprick around in the back row. Click on the photo to make it large enough to see individual faces. As for the second photo, we have no explanation, but we couldn't be happier to share it with the world.
