Re: 1939 Vardiman Family Reunion Richard Henry's Family

"OK - I agree that the man on the left is Richard. Rena lived in Kansas City and I vaguely remember her - she was married to a man named Jeff Uzzell and I believe they are the couple on the far right. Next to Jeff is Irvin and his wife Velma in the black dress. I think that might be Irvin's brother next to him. Can't recall his name and none on your list look familiar. I do remember his wife was also named Velma and the lady to his right looks familiar. They all lived in Kansas City and used to visit us once in awhile. On Bud's chart he doesn't have any children listed under Richard. At the bottom of the page he states, "Mary Caldonia Smith was Luella May Smith's sister. Richard H. Vardeman was John Peter Vardiman's brother and John Peter married Luella May Smith. That would confirm that suspicion."
