August 31, 1980 Aunt Estelle wrote

 Sunday,  Fair hot, shower.  We had homecoming today, a good time.  Curt, Martha, Kenneth & Anna & Kids come.  Millard & I went over to Uncle Rays late.   Dr. Dan Reasor's only son Randolph shot and hilled himself today at Dan's house, Chilhowie. 


Footnote:  Curt Ely is related to her husband, Millard Ely and Martha is Curt's wife.  Kenneth is Curt's brother and I think he lives in Big Stone Gap.  Ray Baker is a half-brother to Estelle's mother, Lula Baker Reasor.  They lived near Pennington Gap, Va. , about 30 minutes away.  I don't remember how Dr. Dan Reasor is related.  I have heard of him but don't know the connection.   I know Stephen will know and Redge too.  

My note:   So I am back at Leah's house after a nice camping trip with her family.  We went to Laurel Lake just south of London, Ky.  It is a lovely spot with a huge lake.  There was a lot of us and we had a good time.    They all went boating and swimming on Sat. and I stayed at the campsite and sewed all day.   The peace and quite was great.  I did go out on the pontoon with them Sunday and had a nice time.
