Before there was social media.
Before smartphones.
Before group chats.
In 1999, the Shepherd Family gathered for the first - and only- full-family reunion in our history. It's amazing to realize that 27 years have passed since then.
Some of the Children in these photos are now parents.
Some of our elders who led that reunion are no longer with us.
Some family members hadn't even been born, let alone met yet.
You may see:
Familiar faces
Younger versions of today's adults
Candid moments you forgot about
Loved ones we now honor
Take a moment to watch the short photo video and see if you recognize anyone.
Family Trivia Challenge
How many Shepherd Family Members can you name from the photos?
