On Friday January 21th, 24 members of the Bachtell family gathered at the Dutch's Daughter restaurant in Frederick, MD to celebrate the 50th anniversay of Bud and Janice's marriage. These are pictures that Ed took of the occasion (with his digital camera, no less).
 Ed's Barb, Eileen, Jeanne, Jeff |  Far left standing, Skip (barely seen); sitting down, Mary (Janice's sister); Joe, Bud, Brad (all standing); Tais, Brad's daughter (barely seen) Matt, sitting down with back to camera, his girlfriend, Kristin, and his sister Kristen and Jessica (hiding behind the menu...I just KNOW she does that deliberately!). |
 This picture is not too clear, but here goes. Joy & Skip; Svetlana, Brad's wife; Brad (at end of table); Jim & Mary (Janice's sister & her hubby are next, but you can't see too much of them); Bud, Tais (barely, again), Matt (well, that's part of the back of his head there, folks), Kristin (Matt's girlfriend). |  Another one that is not very clear (they get better, I promise you), but you can see Bud on left and Jeanne & Jeff on right. |
