Notes:

Gerald Sanford Tripp, son of John William Tripp, son of David Tripp, son of David R. Tripp, son of John Tripp, son of Job Tripp, son of Isaac Tripp, son of Job Tripp, son of Peleg Tripp, son of John Tripp the Founder.

Gerald Sanford Tripp's name is interesting. Sanford is the maiden's name of his mother Alice Myrtle Sanford Tripp. Was this name trying to tell us something? Family research indicates that the name Sanford, from Isaac Horatio Sanford, descended down from John Sanford. John Sanford came to this country in the 1630's, same as John Tripp. They both signed the Portsmouth Compact to start the new town! They knew each other! Their descendants married each other! John William Tripp married Alice Myrtle Sanford and had Gerald Sanford Tripp! Astounding! Uncle Gerald was a basketball player! First of all he looked like a basketball player, and second, I heard about his playing ability from my earliest memories. He was an inspiration to me because I was also small, like him. My coach yelled at me, "Tripp, you have got to cover him. I don't care if he is bigger than you. Out smart him, use your speed." And I remembered my Uncle Gerald! If he could do it, I could do it! I made the team although I was smaller than anyone that went out for basketball.

Notes:

Velda Marjorie Stuart My Aunt Velda

I know how to spell charivari. I learned this name when we attended your "shivaree". I remember it as clear as if it were yesterday. What fun! everyone yelling and teasing you. Did you enjoy it as much as we did? I was eight years old. I did not know you very well, but I sure knew my Uncle Gerald! Uncle Gerald was always fun to talk to. He was always ready to listen, or tell us about whatever we wanted to know. I especially remember that he told me about farming and about laying hens. I was pretty amazed about the way you two produced eggs. Not by the case, but by the dozens of cases! Clara and I have always worked together like you two, only we were more into pigs than chickens. The very last time I talked to Uncle Gerald, he was reminiscing about farming with horses. I think he was remembering like I do sometimes! He was a very good man to the end and an inspiration for us all. My Uncle Gerald! I am sending you a booklet that is full of mememories. The booklet starts out with the story of Zacheus Lester Tripp. To me, he is the biggest hero, among many Tripp family heroes, because he is the one that saved our family from total destruction. I follow with Uncle Gerald's seventh Great Grandfather, John Tripp the Founder. Then comes Great Grandfather Peleg Tripp, sixth Great Grandfather, down the line till Gerald Sanford Tripp. These stories are excerpts from much information that Clara and I have collected over a twenty year period, doing family research. Many of the stories are about our immediate family and I am hoping that others will write about little "happenings" that we should know about and remember. With Love Herman William Tripp--Remembering----
