It's time for the "Porter Clan" to gather for the annual Porter Family Housparty. Our annual get-together started back in 1941, and with the exception of one or two years during WW-II, we have gathered together at the end of July ever since. The gathering started back in 1941 with about 15-20 people coming to White Lake, N.C.; now we have around 150 (of the 240+) show up during the week. And that's for an entire week - including preparing 3 square meals a day. Here is the "family portrait" taken in 2008.
The "family" are the descendants of P.S. and Mary Ann Bush Porter Sr. Their siblings (8 of 10 survived) are our Parents.
"Bunny" is my Mother. In 2007, at the age of 92, she documented
