The entire Teeter family assembles on the front lawn of Uncle John's
impressive Gettysburg home, spring, circa 1956-57. John was the eldest
child of John S. and Margaret R. Teeter and a proficient businessman.
On the death of his father, he became President of the John S. Teeter
Sons Company. His house had scores of bedrooms, an elevator and color
televisions. John stands in the middle of the back row. His wife,
Marjorie, and his mother, Margaret, are seated directly in front
of him. My father, Fred (the youngest brother), stands to the left
of John, the eldest. My mother, Priscilla, is seated in front of
Dad. I'm seated on the armrest to Priscilla's right. My sister, Becky,
is on Priscilla's lap. |

My father and his brothers, sisters and Mother assemble for a portrait
on Uncle John’s lawn, spring, circa 1956-57. In the back row,
from left to right, are Dad, Bill, Richard, Jim, Dan and John. In
the front row, Nana is flanked by Virginia on the left and Mary on
the right. This was a distinguished group. Dan was district attorney
for Adams County, PA for 25 years and founded the successful law practice
of Teeter, Teeter and Teeter, now operated by my cousins Bob and Sam.
Richard became a successful psychiatrist for whom, upon his untimely
death, a hospital library was dedicated in Minneapolis. Jim was chief
of surgery at Waynesboro Hospital for 25 years and a prominent medical
missionary in Africa and Asia. Like my father, Bill stayed with the
quarry business. Mary married Bob Clingan, a Teeter Stone executive,
and raised a family near Taneytown. Virgina married Richard Haggerty,
a successful writer of Broadway musical scores, and raised a large
family in Old Greenwich, CT. |

Fred & Priscilla enjoy Hawaii’s beauty during one of their
frequent association meetings. From the late 1960s through the 1980s,
they traveled widely on behalf of Associated Builders and Contractors,
the National Stone Association, Kiwanis and other organizations Dad
lead and supported. |

Dad poses with daughter, Jenny, inside his Westminster home on her
wedding day, September 24, 1988. She and Frank Baylor were married
in Reisterstown, MD, where he grew up. |

Dad, far right in the first row, poses with Mom (second from the
left, back row) and neighbors during a visit to their favorite Deep
Creek Lake-area restaurant, the Deer Park Inn, near their Lake-side
home, circa 1987. A retreat to their Arrowhead condo was perhaps
their greatest pleasure in later years. Mom and my sister Becky,
who owned the property jointly, sold the house in 1996, a year following
Dad’s death. |

Family members and one guest pose on our porch steps in Uniontown
during a visit in the years before we built our addition. In the
back row, left to right, are Dad, my sister Becky Herrick who is
holding Suzanna, and a student from France who was staying with the
Herricks at the time. Clowning in the first row are Holly Herrick,
left, and her older sister, Natalie. |

Dad and I share a laugh during our combined birthday party at his
house in November 1993. I was 40, he 63, two years before he passed
on. |
