The Glover family Thanksgiving dinner, 1964. This photo accompanies my "SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY" column in today's Sunday Trenton Times (Page 2) wherein I recall my 80 year old memories of Thanksgivings as we lived them when it was widely accepted as a day to thank God for all he has given us. Unfortunately, this hallowed holiday is being turned into a commercial shopping orgy.

1964: A GLOVER FAMILY THANKSGIVING

These are the Glovers; except for those of us who were out of the picture. Each Thanksgiving we would take 3 large tables end on end from the living room to the dining room and the sizable Glover family would take our places, say the prayer of thanksgiving and enjoy a wonderful holiday banquet. The little toddler in the top of the photo is my daughter Julie. In the back on the far right is my father, and over on the right, standing, is mom Glover. It's memories like these that keep me on this journey of remembering our past.
