Before this day The last time the whole McPartland family gathered (with Eleanor  still alive) was in Darwin for Gordon Newell's Memorial on January 10th, 1999.  Problems with my old Pentax kept me from getting many photos that day.
 

The family on the porch of Gordon & Eleanor's Darwin house.  Clockwise from top left:  Me, Tip, Ladd, Eleanor, Jan, and Tor.

The family circa 1970.  Amazing the difference 30 years of wear and tear can make on faces.  In the front row are Jan and Eleanor.  Behind them:  Gordon, me, Tip, and Ladd.  No Tor in this photo.
