* LaVerne & David's February '97 Party *

Five months in the planning the "shin-dig" was a real success. Our wonderful friends and family pitched in and helped with everything. The folks that came together to make up the band were the best you could have ever ask for. Everyone gave freely of there time and talents to help. We thank you.

The main idea of the party was to bring as many members and friends of the Davis family together as possible. As you may have noticed, we all are not getting any younger, and the energy may not be there to do this again 5 or 10 years down the road. Below are a few pictures from the event.
