Also; three family members worked on the Space Shuttle, when there was a Space Shuttle program, including the patriarch of our family. Besides the picture below, we also have a photo of Grandpa with an astronaut that&nbsp; we&nbsp; will enlarge&nbsp; for display at the reunion.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/A-DeLoy-Stewart-Machinist-Thiokol-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"A DeLoy Stewart Machinist Thiokol (2)\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"A DeLoy Stewart Machinist Thiokol (2)\" src=\"http:\/\/familyreunionhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/A-DeLoy-Stewart-Machinist-Thiokol-2_thumb.jpg\" width=\"382\" height=\"269\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We already have the date for our reunion, Labor Day, and the&nbsp; location, a campground and we\u2019ve told everyone to \u201csave the date\u201d so now it\u2019s time to start gathering ideas.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>I like to keep a&nbsp; file of all my ideas and a great way to do that is on&nbsp; Pinterest.&nbsp; I&nbsp; created a Space board and add every good idea I find to that board.
