Gathering of Givens Brothers and Sisters at Charles Smith's

On March 26, 2006, Charles Smith hosted a dinner for the four remaining Given's siblings.  Charles is Barbara's first cousin and the oldest son of Lester and Nell Givens Smith.  Charles lives off Highway 46, south of Geneva, Florida.  This was my first trip to Charles' house and I especially wanted to see his garden which is a great producer of common Florida vegetables.  The following pictures are of Charles' place and the family gathered at his house.
