Emmett's Family's Annual Picnic - April 5, 2009
Emmett's daughter, Pat, was kind enough to invite my family to their clan's annual Easter picnic in Juno Beach, Florida. Patrice and I had driven down to Ft. Myers and we zipped across the state Palm Sunday morning to meet some new relatives. In addition, I was lucky enough to get some new photographs for the website. (They're included below.).
Betty Kenney (Emmett's daughter), Jackie (Roger's widow) and Pat Gabriel (Emmett's daughter). In the background, you can see my two kids (Abby and Aidan) giving the typical child-stuck-at-get-together pose!

Michael Gabriel was kind enough to run home and bring in two photos of Singer Island from the 1930's. The island, near West Palm, became the center of the Kelly Bros. Real Estate business throughout the 1950's and beyond. Palm Beach Gardens, across the intercoastal, was a city incorporated primarily through the Kellys. (See the picture below of Jerry Kelly with investor, John D. MacArthur).
