2010
Rob Adema took this photograph of his parents, Gay and Bob Adema along with yours truly (far left) at their summer home over looking Lake Erie. We are overlooking Cedar Bay at Pt. Claborne, Ontario. Bob's parents, Howard and Gladys Osborne Adema, purchased the home in 1940. We spent much of our day together, not just eating the Western New York favorite - beef on wick - but reviewing old photographs.

Is Bob in the photo below? Back row left to right are Flea and Doris Osborne Akers, then Gladys Osborne Adema, the girl is Virginia Osborne, the daughter of Bascomb K. Osborne (in the Navy uniform) and his wife Edith, far right, back row. Now I am on uneasy ground. I think front row looking down is Phyllis Akers, then Bob Adema (?), Bascomb K. and then Peg Adema Noeltner.
Where and when was this taken? Gladys and Doris are my mother's first cousins, all having grown up in the same area of southwest Virginia and upper East Tennessee in the 1920s and 30's.
From Phylllis Akers, Sept. 14, 2010: The picture of all of us was taken in front of Mom and Dad's house in Damascus. The people are: Back row, l to r - Flea Akers and Doris Osborne Akers, Gladys Osborne Adema, Edith Osborne - Bascom's (Bab) wife. 2nd row: Phyllis Akers, Bob Adema, & Peg Adema. Front, kneeling: Bascom (Bab) Osborne with daughter Gini. Don't know the date of that but looks like I'm sad that everyone is leaving.
