I attended this BARWICK Family Reunion in Dothan, Alabama but failed to capture any Oral History to aid my family research today. I was too busy complaining about the summer heat and lack of things to do!
Amazing, the gift of being young and clueless — you miss treasured opportunities that may not come your way again!:-(
Pictured — Siblings, Elizabeth Ella and Willie C. BARWICK aka E (my Grandfather) with Mary WESTMORELAND BARWICK (wife of Cleveland and Grandmother of Cousin Glenza) in the middle.
E was always impeccably dressed in a suit, tie and hat! Handsome ain’t he?!:-)
Looking forward to meeting Cousin Glenza and family in Cincinnati this July!
Thank God for aging and wisdom!:-)

Why is family Genealogy important? My cousin Glenza {from James’ son, Cleveland Barwick’s line} answers the question in one [heartwarming] email!:-)
