John A. Munroe  Photographic History 1990 to Present


         

On June 10th of 1997 John Munroe addressed the Delaware legislature, the current
and former governors as well as other dignitaries on the  centennial of the ratification of
the present state constitution in 1897. The previous state constitution had been ratified in 1831.


 In 1997 the University of Delaware converted a number of brick homes on Delaware Avenue
into office space by connecting them in  in the back to a central building which housed lecture rooms
for the departments of history and anthropology. On November 2 of that year,  this new building was
dedicated and became "Munroe Hall." Click on the image below to visit a page about the dedication.



Sometime around 2003, Julie and Michael returned to Lakeville with John and Dorothy to
visit our good friends the Scotts. Dick and Janet Scott, are loyal Delawarians who benefited
by taking Delaware History at the University of Delaware.

     
On Dad's 80th birthday, we all were together in Newark, Delaware.
We had a  big party with cake and ice cream in a nearby restaurant.

   
At Dad's 80th birthday celebration it was a good time for lots of old friends to visit.

On dad's 90th birthday, we all got together in the living room on Cheltenham Road in
Newark, Delaware. In July 2005, the Munroes and McCormicks got together in Yarmouth
to celebrate the 60th wedding anniversary of both couples. There were speeches and new
stories never before heard. Some stories were even disputed by the various participants.

 

   

 
This is only part of the group that got together for the 60th
wedding anniversary celebration on Cape Cod.
