Anecdotes
(Reed Gwillim Law, Jr. remembers:) From about 1954 to 1970, there were four Inglis family gatherings each year: Easter, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The venue rotated, mostly among Tom's home in West Hartford, Sandy's home in Canton, and Marion and Deryck's summer home at Kelsey Point. The Laws came from Cortland, NY whenever they could. I don't think the Pritchards ever came, because Dorothy didn't like to travel. There was also a special get-together for Ernest and Agnes's golden anniversary in the summer of 1962, at Pat and Sandy's place.
