Since I recently posted Clark and Dorothy's grave sites, it's apt I post the few Stocking photos I have from the past. Here are Clark and Dorothy on their 25th anniversary, 11 October 1960.
This one, taken in January 1955, with Clark (b. 5 April 1916-d. 4 February 1983) holding JaVee Ann Luckert (b. 24 May 1954-d. 6 May 2007), was because at the time they were the oldest and youngest of George Washington Luckert's grandchildren.
Clark and Dorothy's children with their birth years are Patricia Ann (1936), Vernon Duane (1937), Sally Lea (1939), Karen Sue (1941), Roger Clark (1946), Nancy Lou (1950), Gregory Allen (1953), Becky Jo (1956), and Bryan David (1959). The following photos are dated July, 1953, taken in our yard in Center. First is Sally Lea Stocking, with the old Center town hall in the background.
Patrician Ann Stocking Wright, with the Center Garage and Joe Ballard's blacksmith shop in the background on Center's Main Street.
The two with Sue Ellyn Luckert under our crab apple tree in the back yard.
Larry and Patti Stocking Wright, apparently at the same vist (Patti's outfit is the same).
Several years ago I went down to Windsor, Missouri, to visit Kay Vanness Sanger and the Stocking family members in the area, so I have this photo of Patti at that time. Sadly, both Patti and Kay are gone now.
And, finally, two school photos of Roger Clark, the left one when he was 8, "Pierson School Days 54-55"; the right one in 1965 when he graduated. Great head of hair!
