| Aug. 2, 1992 | Robert Park | Wesley & Irene | "Clifford is also experiencing loss of short-term memory, and Lillian finds it necessary to remind him several times of some things she has told him earlier in the day." "After supper Clifford closed his eyes at the table to listen to Robin playing their little piano in the living room. We soon moved to the living room and listened to Robin play more David Lanz and a piece of his own composition. Clifford was lavish in his praise of Robin's musical abilities, and also praised Mischa when he played a long piece from Robin's piano book." "At the Sand Hills Park...the 3 boys had a great time chasing each other along narrow sand ledges on the steep slopes above the water.... At one spot a small spring had made a little clay cave about 7 ft. high in the shore side bank. While Ian was in it a slab of clay fell off the roof and hit him on the head. Robin was next to him. They both got out just before about 50 pounds more of clay fell from the roof. They found it all very exciting." |
| Jan. 14, 1994 | Robert Park | Wesley & Irene | "You may have heard that Clifford died late last year." "James is receiving radiation treatment for his colon cancer following surgery in June...." |
| Jan. 8, 1996 | Robert Park | Wesley & Irene | "I did not take any trips last summer except the trip to Minneapolis for the funeral of Warren's son, Jonathan. Barb has traveled to Syracuse with Casey or Ian to see her mother and stepfather, who have been having health problems, but she has been flying. She doesn't like to drive that far in her little Geo if she has to do all the driving...." |
| May 25, 1996 | Robert Park | Wesley & Irene | "It is 1996, time again for the Park family reunion we have been holding every 5 years since 1981. This year the reunion
will be at the Nova Scotia summer cottage of my sister Betty...." "We are hoping to drive, using the 1978 Ford van which got us to California and back 5 years ago...." "The van is rusty and has 125,000 miles on it, but seems to be running fine. However, there are some warning signs which I would like to ask Wesley's advice about...." "...we plan to bring Warren's son Daniel and my brother James with us on the trip out, as well as Robin and Ian, plus Barbara and me. Mischa (now 17) will be on a trip to Mexico which he won in a Spanish Honor Society contest through school, and will to have catch up with us at Barb's parent's place in Syracuse." |
| Dec. 27, 1999 | Irene | Robert and all | "Wesley spent about 3 or 4 hours on a message once and then deleted it unknowingly, thereby giving up. So I send most of the e-mail...." "Wesley has been accumulating material to send you - his Father's biography and the Leonard Family Tree." "You were asking about his reminiscences about your parents and your sister. He recalled that he went to Tillsonburg for a nurse when Winnifred was so ill...." |
| Feb. 19‑27, 2002 | Warren Park | Evelyn & Eric | "The ... Park family reunion, held every five years, was headquartered in Minneapolis this time. James and I were the main organizers, with plenty of help from Patty, and Robert and Barbara (260 miles away, so we communicated often via e-mail). We took a lot of care to make sure that the whole week of events was planned carefully, and notices sent to everyone, tickets for plays and concerts purchased in advance, and lots of outings put together for us all, including visits as a group to the Minnesota Science Museum, the Minnesota Zoo, the Guthrie Theater, the Minnesota Orchestra, picnics at the parks. an outing with canoes on the Minneapolis lakes, and gatherings at both our house, and James and his girlfriend's place." |
