This Annual Family Picnic was started by my father's siblings over 60 years ago. Each summer, families traveled from both Kalamazoo and Detroit, meeting 1/2 way in between, at the Waterloo Recreation Area in Jackson. When I was a child, this picnic was the highlight of our summer. To this day, even though my father and his siblings have passed away, my generation, and the following 2 generations still meet once a year to catch up, have a pot luck meal, and swim in the lake. Wonderful memories have been created throughout the years!
