morning we gather at the Dining Hall for the Farm Family Breakfast.
One of our
favorite parts of Homecoming - eating, talking, and more hugging.

"Yargo Yeti"
This photograph by J. Harold Thurmond stirred everyone's imagination as we
tried to find the monster..
Alice Hempel Kamin created this doll. She designed it
to look like her daughter.
Alice, please give us some background on this charming doll.

There were many other talented contributors and, unfortunately,
we did not get pictures of their work.
Next year we will have better coverage. Patty Cone Gober's
photography was special
and we regret not being able to include it here.
