Ken and Harriet's 60th Anniversary party was held in Alliance on Saturday, July 29, 2000. Friday night there was a no host dinner at the Country Club. Saturday we had a Steph from Steph's Studio in the park for family pictures and lunch; then there was a reception at the Methodist Church and a dinner in the park.
As always, double click on the pictures for a better view. I have written names on some of the pictures for more clarity.
Here are a few of the posed pictures for the photographer:

This is a picture of all the Phillip family and extended family, plus a few friends. I have tried to put everyone's name on the picture. I believe the ? mark is a nephew of Sherry (Cory's wife). Cally is holding a certificate ~ some school project to see if you could be in a summer event with the most people. Amazing how ten years will change the looks of a group of people, particularly the young ones.
There were a lot of cake pictures at this reunion. It was Cally's birthday, close to Sister Elma's birthday, and of course ~ the 60th anniversary cake.

Hayley (Paul's daughter) and Ruby Jo (Ray's sgranddaughter)
Because it was Cally's birthday, and because she was born during our first Phillip reunion in Pullman, Wa, she gave a short speech at this reunion/anniversary party.
