Roberts Family Reunion in 1967 at the then new lake house on Cedar Creek Lake.
Mac: Half way through my two-year tour of Japan with the Air Force, I came home on leave. Dad and I had arranged it as a surprise for the family. It was mid July so we arranged a family reunion. The reunion was held at Cedar Creek Lake on the old Roberts property. You can see the pictures by clicking on the blue numbers at the left side of this page. Mac: This is "Mammadaddy" (Elmer Roberts) my grandfather. On this day he was well into his eighties and his back and hips were stiff as a board. It was difficult for him to walk or even sit. And yet, he was out there racking up trash and doing his best to help cleanup around the lake house.
