The Coleman Family Reunions were great occasions.  Each year the whole family gathered at Strickland's Landing, Kingsley Lake, FL.  There was a cookout, swimming and games for the whole family.  By "whole family" I mean my grandfather and all his siblings who were still living, their children and their grandchildren.  There were dozens of people there - all part of the same family.  The picture above only shows one of the original siblings with his family.  There were several others there also. 

Your humble author, Paul Coleman, is the red-haired boy, standing behind the boys kneeling in the front row.
