Birthday celebrations for an 80 and an 87 year-old in 2022

11 Apr

Two men in the GayParker Family enjoyed birthday parties for four score (80) and four score & seven (87) years of age. Herman Humorris Gay “Bro” turned 80, and David Clinton Gay, Sr. “Uncle Dave” turned 87.

Here’s your chance to have a few glimpses at both birthday parties through the photographs of Marion Barnes, a stalwart photographer of family and social events for many decades.

Herman “Bro” is the oldest son of Herman Gay and Dannie Ruth Dupree Gay and the oldest living grandson of Pa Bob Gay and Ma Lillie Parker Gay. Herman “Bro” celebrated his 80th birthday in March.

      Thank you.
      It helps tremendously when you have a photographer and videographer who doesn’t mind sharing.
