Boy, if "Professor Hull" could hear them now! Jack Pectol and Dennis Hull explode into a grand trumpet duet. Their grandpa...and mine, too...John Henry Hull, was known all over for his fantastic trumpet playing on the vaudeville circuit. He would be very proud of his offspring, and Brent's got it all on video! Please note the three sons of Jack's in back: Ian and Ethan (standing) and Dan (sitting).
"Sugar Blues" Nobody can play it like Dennis. Oh, this brings back memories of my wonderful childhood when we would visit our cousins in Utah and enjoy the music at family parties.
"I Wanna Be a Cowboy Sweetheart," an old-time family favorite sung by Grandmother and Noreen Francis, my cousin (Fay Hull's oldest).
Even Dad (Jim Bradley) comes out with a clear tenor voice as he croons with Don Burt Heninger (Brent's youngest brother) on the song, "Let Me Call You Sweetheart." Accompanied by Dennis, trumpet, and Cordell, guitar, it sounded tremendous and made us long for the good 'ol days.
Charity Pectol with her new baby, Miriam, who has five older brothers! Charity is the wife of John Pectol (Gil and Betty's oldest son). Gil and Betty love their grandchildren!
Cordell Hull (Fay Hull's son), my favorite cousin...at least one of them, that is! Gil, another favorite cousin, looks on.
Cousins sing "We Are the Boys from the Bowery"
Kenny Watts (Jann Pectol's husband), Cordell Hull, Don Burt Heninger, Jackie Pectol, Brent Heninger, Gil Pectol. (Gil, Jack and Jann are children of Clara and Ephraim Pectol. Clara is grandmother's sister who died last year Another daughter, Lonna, from California, couldn't come to this party.)
Grandmother holds Gil's grandchildren, who have grown to love her very much.
My cousins,Carma and Noreen (Fay Hull's two daughters), perform "Sisters," a family tradition. Fay and Verla Hull carried on the family band when "these kids" were going up. The Fay Hull Family Band traveled through Utah, Nevada, Idaho and Wyoming for many years.
Mama, Rob and Glenda Hicks enjoy all the hub-bub and acitivity.
Brett Watts (Jann and Kenny's son) introduces his girl friend.
Kenny and Jann Watts: great parents of Brett and Jenny, who are achieving great things in school, music and vocations.
Roger Thompson, my oldest brother, takes my picture. Did you know that he has scanned thousands of Brent's old slides? He offered to do that so they could be electronically filed for posterity. Thank you, Roger; you're wonderful!
Grandmother gives Dan Pectol a hug. It was Dan who felt impressed to restore Uncle Lindy's old drums and use them again at special times. Dan is a professional drummer and feels a kinship to his great Uncle. Lindy Hull, Grandmother's brother who died in May, 2001, now lives on through his drums. We love you Uncle Lindy. You have blessed our lives.
Rachael, one of Jack Pectol's three daughters, brought her husband to enjoy the party.
Jenny Watts with her boyfriend, a commercial pilot from California.
Rachael, Jack and Sheri Pectol. The Pectols are parents of nine wonderful and talented children.
Gil's son, Seth, who has inherited his father's charisma and good looks, stands with his wife, Gina, baby Miriam, Brett Watts and girlfriend. The Pectol family are very close and love to get together.
Gil's son, John, gives Jann Watts, his aunt, a hug before departing. Wasn't that a fun party?

Looks like a great party! I can imagine what it sounded like, because we are enjoying the CD from Cordell with the family band music on it. It was nice to see pictures of everyone!
