Our Kind of People: The forty-fifth annual Thanksgiving dinner for the descendants of the Roy and Nellie Newfarmer family was the highlight of our year. When there are seventy people for dinner you have to be organized. We have carving and serving committees, games and a family quilt everyone sews on. A silent auction pays for the three turkeys. More families should be proud of their heritage. Tri-Valley Area, Northern California, 1969–75. Bill Owens (American, b. 1938). Gelatin silver print; image: 19 x 24 cm (7 1/2 x 9 7/16 in.); paper: 20.3 x 25.2 cm (8 x 9 15/16 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, Gift of George Stephanopoulos 2019.282
