Sherry Jongsma (Sams)

She identified people in the pictures 1.  Back row left to right:  Gene or Bill Smith (George Gray); Chester Sams holding his son Bill; Sylvenus; and Rock Hess. 2. Front row:   Alvin; Lawrence;  Charles Sams; and Glenn Sams Picture 2.  Back row left to right:  Chet (Chester Sams twin to Charles Sams) Front row: Amy; Hester; Glenn; Opal (my parents);   Charles Sams; Trinnie Lee (Brennan) Sams   and Lawrence. My note: The guy you thought was Gene or Bill Smith is George Gray, my Dad -Grandpa and Grandma and Mom and Dad must have made a trip down to Iowa to visit. I could identify Alvin, Lawrence and Chet. I had forgotten that Chet and Charles were twins. I think the first picture is Uncle Charles home on leave from the service with Uncle Lawrence.  I am sending a picture that is of Uncle Joy and he was in the Navy. Sams, Lawrence and Charles Charles, home on leave. Identified by his niece.
