Putnam Family Reunion

Nancy and I attended a reunion of a branch of the Putnam family on July 25. This branch of the family includes four Putnam sisters who grew up in Bethel, VT: Fran, Margaret, and the twins Loraine and Louise. The reunion was held at the farm of Fran and Art Hyde in Bradford, VT. Below are Fran, Nancy, Art, me and Loraine:

We have two other connections to Fran and Art. Fran Putnam was maid of honor at the wedding of Nancy's parents in 1953. And Art Hyde was a Farm Credit director for some 26 years, including a few years as chairman of the board of the Farm Credit Banks of Springfield in the 1970s. That was before my time at Farm Credit, as I started in 1984, but we had good discussions about Farm Credit.
