My Uncle Morrall's Retirement Party

This past Saturday, I attended my Uncle Morrall's Retirement Party in Saginaw, Michigan. It was also a mini-family reunion of sorts, and I got a chance to see some family members I hadn't seen in almost a decade! My uncle worked for Frankenmuth Mutual Insurance Company for over 39 years and they threw him this fabulous party, complete with a symphony and about 770 guests. It was held in Temple Theater with the Saginaw Bay Symphony Orchestra. As incredible as the concert was, it paled in comparison to seeing the family and catching up with everyone. My brothers, my mother and I spent more time on the road traveling to Michigan than actually being there, but it was well worth it. Here are some photos of the evening and of hanging out at Morrall and Nancy's house...
