Nancy Tonkin and her brother, Tim Tonkin, hold the platter on which the family's roasted turkeys have been served since their grandmother acquired it almost 100 years ago.
Tonkin holiday dinners always include turkey, dressing, mashed potato and gravy, cranberry sauce, corn, broccoli casserole and Waldorf salad.
The platter takes center stage when the family sat down to a holiday dinner in 1971. The three generations of Tonkin women were all named Nancy. From left: Nancy Tonkin (mom), John Tonkin, Bud Tonkin, Veronica Tonkin, Nancy Tonkin and Nancy Sturdevant (grandmother).
Tim Tonkin carves roasted turkey at the dining room table, just as his father Bud Tonkin did every Thanksgiving and Christmas.
