A visit from Family

 
  

   Last week we had a visit from my uncle Rod Cogburn . It was great to see him and my other uncle Denny , who lives nearby in Yellville , AR .  We all met up down at a resort near the White River and had a great meal and spent several hours catching up with each others lives.
  
   My uncle Rod brought me two large envelopes containing all kinds of family history of my Grandparents , Lee (Levi) and Jackie Cogburn . I really enjoy going through all of the old records and photos that my grandmother Jackie painstakingly put together in her later years of life . These are a few of the photos that were in the envelopes , and I scanned them into my collection of other old Cogburn photos that I received from my Dad , Charles , after he passed in 2009 . Here are some of the ones I received from Rod .
