DESCENDANTS OF EMERY AND MARY SELF GATHER

Saturday, June 6, 2010 marked the annual gathering of the family of Emery and Mary Self at the home of J.L. and Edna Self in Maryville, Tennessee. The reunion was well attended this year. We enjoyed a delicious lunch and some great fellowship. The weather was nice also. J.L Self commented that this was the 20th year the reunion has been held at his home. We also celebrated the 50th wedding anniversary of J.L. and Edna after lunch, complete with a beautiful cake. They were married December 23, 1959 and celebrated 50 years together last December. More photos from the reunion will follow.
