I have found a beautiful graduation photo of an Evelyn Gelatt that I would love to see reunited with her family. It is from the 1918 class of Binghamton High School, Broome County NY. Research shows her parents to be Vernon W. and Gertrude (both born PA) and siblings Dorothy and Miles. If anyone has a connection or knows of this family, please contact me at lgurney@stny.rr.com.

Lynn,

I'll be glad to receive the photo but perhaps someone else may be more familiar with the person would need it. Several of us are compiling family histories, etc.

My Father Paul B.W. Gelatt was born near the town of Gelatt and served churches in Gelatt, Thompson & Jackson in the early 1920's but went on to share the Gospel to remote Sask Canada in 1928 and I was born there in 1936.

All my children were born in Binghamton. I had gone to Baptist Bible Seminary in Johnson City, although it's now Baptist Bible College & Seminary located in Clark's Summit, PA. After deciding with the Seminary Dean that I should find another school (I was on the Dean's List, the one that he wrote to my parents!) I worked and then studied at Binghamton State Hospital and then at Harpur College (now SUNY-Binghamton) becoming a registered Nurse. After working for the state of NY for a few years I then went off to Mayo Clinic and studied at their graduate schools becoming a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. I've worked as that for almost 50 years.

I suppose some would call it regression but I've returned to my earlier days as I share some experiences which I consider important. Check out my Blog site. http://signsandsongs.blogspot.com/

Thanks again and let me know the best way to get that picture, unless of course someone else needs it.
