SATHER FAMILY GATHERINGS  

        

The Sather clan enjoys many get-togethers a year.  Members of the Sather family are invited to send photos of gatherings to share with others who couldn't be there.  Send scanned or digital photos to mail@patmoore.org.

One of our most recent gathering was to celebrate Andre Friederich's graduation from Capital University in Columbus, OH.  Andre is the grandson of Elwood Sather and son of Ann and Kurt Friederich. 

Andre' now works as the "stunt man" for the top radio station in Columbus, WNCI 97.9.  Click here to see photos of the things they make him do.  You can also listen to the station live.  Be advised, he works for the "Morning Zoo" and most of his escapades are on between 7-9 a.m. Eastern time.

The party continued at LaVonne and Tom's on Mother's Day - see the pictures on the next photo gallery.

The obligatory photo of the honoree and cake. Andre majored in Radio and Communications at Capital University.

Kurt and Ann are especially proud that Andre graduated with a full-time job starting the next week at WNCI, the #1 radio station in Columbus.

Sisters Tara (2nd from right) and Mari (far right) got to crash at their brother's new apartment for the weekend.

Ann, Kurt and Mari came from Dallas for the festivities. Tara drove in from Chicago.

Also flying in were (l-r) Step-Grandmother Eileen from Madison, MN; Uncle Kent from Colorado; Aunt Lori and Uncle David from Minneapolis.

And, yes, Lori brought along husband Ron. They and Eileen stayed at my house. They're wonderful house guests and I was sorry to see them leave.

Among the Ohio-based cousins was 2nd cousin Scott Stuart (left), husband of Lynn (Sather) Stuart.

That's David, Ron, Cousin-once-removed Greg Moore and Ann. Greg and his family played host to David, Kent and his daughter Mckenzie.

Great Aunt LaVonne Moore and Eileen.

Great Uncle Tom Moore, Greg, Ann, LaVonne and Eileen on the patio at Nelson and Shirley Myers' home, Kurt's cousins.

Nelson and Shirley's backyard is an ideal party place. Owen - or is that Devon? - Stuart was just one of the young friends David made.

This tree was a big hit with the kids. It's ideal for climbing ...

...and pretending you're a cougar.

Even the babies got to climb with help from Daddy Kent and Mommy Lynn.

Second (or is that third?) cousins Abby Moore and Alex Stuart.

Andre and a Friederich cousin had their hands full playing badmiton against...

Mari and another Friederich cousin.

Lynn tells me this is the first family photo since baby #6 arrived.

Mom seems to be asking if I'm ever going to have one of those. Scott is holding the youngest of their six. They made up for me not having any.
