My grandfather's Hall of Fame induction

Last summer, we were informed that my paternal grandfather's senior year basketball team was being inducted in his high school's athletic Hall of Fame.  It is the inaugural year for the event, and we were excited to be able to be a part of it.  Both of my paternal grandparents had graduated from this tiny little high school, and my sister, aunt, and I joined my grandmother at the ceremony last evening as she accepted on my grandfather's behalf.

The dinner was delicious, and the ceremony was pleasant.  My favorite part was the game that followed.  The inductees (or representatives) were being recognized between the JV and Varsity games.  My dad's cousin and her daughter came to the game to see that part.  It was wonderful to see them, as it had been nearly 2-1/2 years since the last time.  We were able to visit for the entire JV game, and although I wanted to get back due to early morning commitments, the rest of the family stayed to visit.  I was especially pleased that we had someone take a picture of all of us together.  I never tire of family moments and memories!
