Elizabeth turns 2 - 1987

Elizabeth's 2nd birthday party was held at my mom and dad's house in Cookeville, TN on the old Ramsey family farm property on or near July 20, 1987.  Gran and Granddad, as the kids called grandparents Betty & Ed Madden, were always excited for their grandchildren to come and visit.  Both my brothers and their families were present.  At this point there were three grandchildren: Joey (8 years old), Elizabeth (2) and Randall (a few months younger than Elizabeth).  Randy, Donna, Mike and Marlene were present in the video.  Special guests were my dad's sisters from Harlan County, KY.  Verna Madden, Ruth Smith and Faye Cochran.

Joey with the Harlem Globetrotters 1984

In 1984 Jeff and 5 year old Joey went to Tennessee Tech University to see the Harlem Globetrotters play basketball.  Joey had a great time and we were delighted to watch him on TV during a time for kids to go on court with the team.  He had a great time.  The video quality isn't fantastic since it was recorded on VHS from our poorly received local station but we still enjoy watching it!
