It is hard to describe the difference between friend and relative. Is a friend a person that is always there when you need them? Is a relative the little guy down the street that calls you Grandpa because both of his have passed away? Can a friend be a relative? Can a relative be a friend. Is the daughter of a friend who calls you Grandpa Jerry out of respect a friend or a Relative?

Our dictionary describes a friend as "one attached to another by affection or regard; an intimate: An acquaintance" a member of the same nation or political group.

It describes relative as "having relation to or bearing on something; close in connection; pertinent; relevant; not absolute or existing by itself; a person connected by blood".

It further describes friendship as a "relationship of mutual regard; a feeling of liking and esteem".

I feel that this page could be better described as "Friendships".

I think that anyone reading this Web Site will soon come to the conclusion that I am not much of a "writer", I want you to enjoy reading it so please disregard any spelling or structure errors. There will be pictures with very little information, and information without pictures, please advise me so I can correct it.

I have many Step Brothers and Sisters (mother married several times), but to me they are either brother or sister, do not be confused by the name.

One happy woman, me MOM is.

You are just as young as you feel.

My oldest brother Don. Bagby

Nope, he's not a cop, that would be Danny

Don, his wife Donna Mae and their family (a son, a daughter and 3 grand children) reside to Denver, Colorado. Don is retired from the US Air Force and the US Postal System. He owns and runs Bagby Motors in Denver with the aid of his son Rodney.

Jack and Lois Davis with their family

This picture was taken at a family get together a few years ago.

Jack is retired from General Motors and stays active doing wood work and taking care of some property that he and his wife Lois own.

Bert and Susie Davis with their family

It has grown since this picture was taken.

Bert is retired from Taylor Refrigeration and resides in the Beloit area. He keeps active in several different ways, including a trailer up by Wisconsin Dells.

Harold West

Yep, it's me. Have you been good

I first met Harold through the VFW and we became close friends. He was a very active individual and was always there to give a helping hand. Harold played Santa Clause for the Beloit Cosmopolitan for about 25 years. At one time or another, he has held all offices in both the VFW and the Cosmopolitan. In all the years that I knew Harold, I never heard him raise his voice in anger or frustration.

After 40 some years of this, it is hard enough to remember my own name, so if I am incorrect concerning when and where the events took place, or even names, please forgive me (Be a lot smarter than what I am and write something on the reverse side of the picture, Event, Place, Who and When). I do remember having good times and a lot of fun.

now I am not real sure what Jim is trying to do

But by george I think he is doing it

Jim and MarylynVincent

Picture is about 1956 vintage

I believe this is Dennis Tevebaugh

I am not positive I have the correct name of the individual. I do remember that Carol and I purchased this car. We had a lot of fun in it, especially Carol

Larry and Brenda Whiteford

Larry and Brenda were or next door neighbors in the housing complex in Wiesbaden.

John Powel

John became a family on our second tour in Germany, stationed this time in Dormstadt.

John liked to play with our kids who had nicknamed him "Cutie Pie".

Its hard trying to keep the same theme going. So if I wander, what the heck.

The Wiesbaden Flyers

We used to watch them to have something to do.

Aubrey Scrape, Jim Vincent, Marshal Dodge and myself.

Taken on the way to Nancy, France to watch a football game. Only time in my life that I can remember driving from one country to another just to see a football game (not even a pool on it).

Told we was on our way to a game

I do not have all the pictures that were taken a various functions, ball games, parties, picnics, etc., and would love to have anyone send copies to me so I may include them in Web.
