Clyde and Nell Moore's Children and Grandchildren

Last and only picture that I have of all of we brothers together

I have no idea why we did not take more pictures together, but we obviously did not. The best that I can calculate from the picture is that it was taken in 1968 or 1969. The only way that I can do that is that I know that the younger one of us, Kevin, looks about 10 or 11 in the picture and he was born in 1958. Roger, the one in the green shirt, and the fourth by birth, died of Hodgkins Disease in 1977, shortly before his 28th birthday.

By birthday and year born:

Donnie Parks Moore, the one in the two toned blue shirt was born on May 29, 1941.
Wayne Allen Moore, the one in with the red sweater was born on July 25, 1943.
James Aubrey Moore, (me), the one in the white shirt was born on Nov. 27, 1944
Roger Clyde Moore was born on February 14, 1950
Roy Kevin Moore was born on April 14, 1958.

By profession we were and are:

Donnie works in engineering for Duke Power Co. as he has for 40 or so years though now he do so on a contract basis.
Wayne worked for Rexham Corporation until he retired as its President in 2002, I think. He briefly owned his own cruise booking company.
Aubrey was a math teacher for 12 years and has owned his own custom drapery business since. I still work.
Roger worked as a bartender at Rhineland House in Charlotte for several years before his death.
Kevin was a nuclear operator in the Navy before working shutdowns at nuclear power plants for many years. He then worked for several companies in IT before becoming a stay at home dad for his son, George.

Wives were:

Donnie married Nancy Farris of Charlotte and Harding High School in 1963. Nancy has been a stay at home mom most of those years.
Wayne married Reen Harris of Chapel Hill in 1969. Reen has also been a stay at home mom and wife most of those years.
Aubrey Moore married another teacher, Sarah Moore(now Sarah Moore Moore) of Gastonia and Ashley High School, in 1968. Sarah taught for 10 years, worked in the business, and worked as a stay at home mom when possible.
Roger married Patti Flynn of Charlotte and Myers Park High School in 1972. Patti has held many positions and has lived in several countries outside the U.S., including Peru, Germany, Pakistan, Thailand, and short stints in others. Patti is now an environmental lawyer living in Bangkok, Thailand and writes environmental law for third world countries. Patti never remarried.
Kevin married Dr. Liz Fink, an internist, from Warner Robbins, Georgia in 1995. Liz has worked as a physician since, allowing Kevin to be the stay at home parent.

Children are:

Donnie and Nancy: Sheri Evans(the eldest of the grandchildren) and Donna Youngblood.
Wayne and Rene: Katie Rakestraw, Allen Moore, and Meredith Moore(married to a Moore).
Aubrey and Sarah: Brian Moore, Darren Moore, David (Ormand) Moore
Roger and Patti: No children
Kevin and Liz: George Moore( adopted form Cambodia).
