If youare, a Phillips, a Rittenhouse, Bryant, Turner, Wood, or even a D’Ambola (no not the Piney River D’Ambolas, or the ones at Schuyler, just kidding) then you were probably at their annual family reunion at the RVFD Sunday. We are no relation, none that we know of, but several folks insisted we had to see this annual event. We agree! We hear these names everyday, but never had the opportunity to meet many of them until this past weekend. Very neat.
Above, Lousie Phillips Wade center, explains the family tree to Yvette on the left. On the far right is Dennis Phillips, son of Zack Phillips. Mrs Wade is the mother of Linda D’Ambola, yes that D’Ambola of Afton!
Phil D’Ambola, husband of Linda D’Ambola, see above to connect the dots…just can’t seem to get away from the kitchen! Here he slices up a pie for the crowd.
Yes, that would be Mrs. Hazel Phillips, Lyna Watson’s mother. The Lyna Watson of Wintergreen hardware. Confused yet? Good thing they all had name tags on!
