Edna Walker Burkhardt's 90th birthday was celebrated at the Topeka Holidome in May 1978. All four of her children, Allan, Ethel, Helen and Mary Grace attended along with their spouses. Unfortunately Helen's husband, Roy, passed away a few months prior to the birthday. Also attending were 10 of her 15 grandchildren, their spouses and 3 of her 9 great grandchildren plus two nieces, Dorothy and Laura Lieb. Below is the home movie Ray took that day. Harold Winter, husband of Edna's daughter, Ethel, appears first in the movie, enjoying his pipe on the porch of the Burkhardt home on Jewel in Topeka. Joining Harold are Helen, Ethel and Edna.
Then the action moves to the Holidome where there is a lot of milling around. Edna and her four children are seated at the head table. To each side of the head table are the other tables seating everyone else.
Enjoy and Happy Birthday to Edna on the 127th anniversary of her birth.
