August 3, 1912



Fred Trotter, my grandfather.
One of the highlights of the summer was our trip to San Diego to be a part of a Trotter reunion at my aunt and uncle's home.  It was a great day of catching up and hearing the story of my grandfather's immigration to the United States from Ireland in August 1912.  He traveled on the famous Lusitania and landed in Ellis Island.  Following, he met up with his brother in Southern California and served as a Methodist pastor throughout Southern California for the next 40 years.  He and my grandmother, Hazel, had six children, thirteen grandchildren and twenty-two great, grand-children.  
The whole group!  
The 2nd Generation - my lovely cousins.




Katherine's favorite part.
