HAZEL DELL –About 80 cousins and other Yinger family members showed up to Hazel Dell Park recently for a family reunion. According to family member Peny Gibbons, the family had a large dairy farm in Vancouver back in the 1930s. She said only two people are now left from the first Yinger family, Hazel Gibbons, 97, of Vancouver, and Lucy Stroman, 93, of California. “The cousins all helped out with the reunion. It was a fun day,” she said.
