On Saturday, February 14, 1998, members and guests of the Mobile Genealogical Society gathered to celebrate 36 years of history.  The day began at high noon with a Potluck Anniversary Luncheon and continued with our monthly Members' Meeting and Speaker Program.  Mr. George Schroeter was our featured speaker and Mr. John Sledge was our special guest representing the City of Mobile and Mayor Mike Dow.  Members got their first look at the newly remodeled MGS Library and Media Center and appropriately used the occasion to reminisce, visit and browse our new facility.  Below are a few photographic memories of the day's festivities.  You can click on any image to view it "full size."  Use your browser's "Back Button" to return to this page.
