Even though this is a partial picture, it's worth posting so everyone can see Wayne's legs.
I don't know who that is on the left but Bub is in the middle, Alice Fernanz(?) on the right, and Wayne in the back right.

Which car is this? The 1949 Packard, the 1953 Plymouth or ???.
It sits just about were the carport is located now.
The cherry trees along the driveway can be seen in this picture.


It's the 1953 stick shift Plymouth. Bill says that was pappy's hot rod.

This picture was probably taken about 1945.

This was pop Menebroker's Nebraska farm house. He grew up in this house.
It was destroyed by a tornado in May of 1918, but quickly rebuilt with the help of friends and neighbors.
As far as I know it is still standing in the suburbs(LOL) of Clearwater Nebraska.
At least it was when Don, and I and the family were back there in 1986.
On the back of the picture is written "Home Sweet Home."

Thanks again, CORA

Happy Birthday Bill


How old did you say you were Uncle Bill?
Wow! 76? I didn't know anyone got that old.


That's a lot of years of loving the Menebroker children.
Thank you and God's Blessing on you Bill.
Vicki :)


Maybe it's the hormones, but I saw that picture and just cried my eyes out.
You are so special to us Uncle Bill.
Happy Birthday!!
Heidi

Vicki, Heidi, and Keri: 1st family camping trip in the cove campground.
1979


I loved that raft and those camping trips. Hopefully I can get over my lack of desire for camping and take K-R and ?? camping someday.
Heidi

Yes, when there were 30 some of us all camping together it was a blast!

This is Uncle Bailey's sister, Ida Spacey
This picture was taken in front of our house.

Boy does that go back a ways. I remember when she would come out from INDIANA she would always make home made egg noodles. And were they ever good. Another thing that I remember was the berry pie that was always served with a piece of cheese {not low fat or fat free}. Those were some great times for those of you that never had a chance to be there. Just us old folks. HAHA.

Happy Anniversary Matt and Heidi


Matt and Heidi are celebrating their first 10th anniversary today.

Happy Anniversary, kids! Not only is it your FIRST 10th anniversary, but your last. Next is 11. No more 10s. love,
Aunt Annie

They will celebrate their second 10th anniversary on March 16th, the date of their church wedding. I told Matt he wasn't very smart because most guys have trouble remembering one anniversary and he was going to have to remember two.

I was right.

They (?) celebrate both. It did save them a bunch of money at the time though not having to pay Heidi's moving cost to Hawaii.

Dot and June at family camping.
Around 1981

A picture's worth a thousand words!
Meet the newest member of the Menebroker clan.
Our little grand daughter (we don't know the sex yet but we're just putting our two cents worth in) is due August 6th.

Here's a closer view. Amazing what they can do these days.


That's our baby :-) !!!!!
Vicki

Congratulations!! Yippee!!! Another baby in the family!!!!
Shirley


I can already tell what a beautiful baby she is???? CONGRATULATIONS.
It looks like we are going to have two new babies this year. Bill and I are going to be great grand parents April 27. It is a little boy. Carrie and Sean Jamison are very happy. It is hard to believe because Bill and I are not that old. Grandpa John is very happy too. Everyone is doing fine.
Cora

Congratulations! Kenny Ray gets to be a big brother! Hoooray!
And Congratulations on the new baby for Carrie too!! Wow!
2006 is looking good!!
Sue and Kevin

Well, that's just a neat way to start the year! Glad to hear the news of a new arrival!
And Cora Mae, Bill, of COURSE you are OLD enough to be GREAT grandparents, because you are OLD and Great folks! Ha Ha Ha. After all, I'm a great grandma twice over. So there! And congratulatioins to all the expectant parents !
Annie

Oh man!!!! I wasn't feeling old until now!
Shirley

Pop Menebroker.
This picture was taken in Nebraska around 1920 so I don't know who the baby is.


Chuck really looked like Pop. Any idea who the baby is?
Shirley

Sorry for the confusion Shirley. I didn't get a chance to finish the picture last night.
As you can see I do not know who the baby is, but Chuck sure looked like dad that's for sure.
Chuck was a little more patient though, don't you think?

Chuck was only maybe 99.9% more patient.

Wayne working on his old '67(?) Mustang when they lived in Wilton.

We know don't we Don!


January 6, 2006


Fern Menebroker, one of pop Menebroker's many cousins.
In 1977 Vicki attended a TOPS retreat near Portland Oregon.
You can imagine Vicki's double take when someone stood up and introduced herself as Fern Menebroker. She has since past away.
Fern was the daughter of Herman Menebroker, dad's uncle, and sister of Lawrence and Lucille.
As best I can tell, her two children Paul and Roberta live on the west coast.
I believe Paul Menebroker lives in the San Jose area and Roberta Menebroker in Arizona. Paul called Wayne and talked to him a bit when Wayne lived in San Diego in the 80's, and Paul was in the Navy.

Nothing like home made ice cream.

Happy New Year


Like New Year's Day, they were the beginning.
Pop and Mom Menebroker


Awesome shot!!! I know we cannot see the entire ensemble but I think I recognize grandpa's striped overalls. When I think of grandpa, I think of those. Great pic!!!
Robert


Yea. And he wore grey sweatshirts over his overalls in the winter (as above); He always wore khakis as dress pants too.
