For Father’s Day this year, I thought I would reach back to 2011.  My grandfather, Milo James Ross, turned 90 on 4 February 2011.  For that grand event, the Ross/Donaldson families, and Plain City community came together to celebrate.  I have loaded most of the photos from that day on to FamilySearch, I only share a few of the family pictures from that day.

This photo holds a good portion of the Ross descendants.  A couple of four generations in this photo.

The celebration was held in a building that Grandpa helped orchestrate construction from the original donation of the land (stretching back over 70 years) to its actual erection.  He was a ardent supporter of the United States flag and the Boy Scouts rewarded him accordingly.

Family and friends came from Oregon and Washington, I came from Oklahoma, others from Colorado.  Most came from nearby in Idaho and Utah.

And to wrap up, the one that seems to be the best.  Grandpa’s big smile.

Million Dollar Smile

An interesting side note, Grandpa had shrapnel in his face.  As time continued its march, some of his teeth started to die and break off.  He had a bridge and various other problems.  But this smile has a piece of shrapnel behind his upper lip that bothered him his entire life.
