“The Hannum families in our neighborhood gathered together for Family Dinners to celebrate certain holidays. There were about twenty or twenty-five of us in the family group when I was a boy. The same family was the host on a certain holiday each year … What I remember concerning these events are the wild times we children had, our stuffed feeling after the bounteous meal, and our inclination to eat entirely too much candy” (Hannum, p. 71).
