Ruth Klein Turns 100!

Mom, Grandma, Great-grandma Ruth turned 100 years old on July 13, 2006 and excited family members from all across the country joined together to celebrate the momentous occasion! Immediate family "moved into" Ruth's assisted living facility for five days and celebrated non-stop. The celebration culminated with an open house party and family dinner on July 15 with 51 relatives joining together to honor Ruth and reminisce. What a wonderful legacy of love she has given her extended family!

Generations Join Together

51 relatives joined together to celebrate Ruth's 100th birthday. We gathered together for an open house, reacquainted ourselves and met the new generation members, poured over old photo albums, relived memories from the past 100 years and ate lots of birthday cake. What a wonderful celebration!
It was a big challenge to organize 51 people for a family photo. It wasn't easy, but Jeff eventually got the job done. Posted by Picasa
