Family Gatherings

Portland 1966

In 1971 just before the birth of their first Grandchildren, Jim and Jean moved from Fair Oaks California to Gig Harbor, Washington.  With the family spread up and down the west coast, getting together became a bit of a challenge at times.  Although, in the early years the entire family together was seldom achieved,  individuals travelling kept everyone in touch. 

For half a century now our Madden Clan has gathered for weddings, anniversaries, extended family reunions, memorials, and vacations.  Here is a list of those we remember each linked to a blog as they are posted.
