We were on our way, Monday for the Reunion on Saturday in Lima, Ohio. Excited about Carolyn and Bill meeting us early at a park, their first long trip in their new Travel Trailer.
Oh well, these things happen. We were about 1 hour from home and decided to spend the night. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Reunion was great, there were actually 6 sites at the park inhabited by family.
Maybe in 2011 we will have more.
Since we are all spread out and do not get to see each other it was great seeing the family
we remember and getting to know the next generation better.
Had a fish fry two nights. Kay's Ben was chef the first night, and then Tod brought fish
for the next night. No, I cannot say which one was the best, they were both awesome.
We spent the time before the "Official Reunion" just enjoying each other.
A neighborhood friend from 58, yes 58 years ago came by and visited with us all. It was great. She came the first day and told Carolyn and Bill, she was with the Lima Tourist Committee. Proceeded to interview her and she fell for it till I got there and gave her a big hug. You all remember, Carolyn has always been my straight man, and now looks like she is MaryAnn's straight man also.
We took a tour of our old neighborhood. Our little house, that Mother paid $600.00 for in 1941 is the best in the neighborhood now. She would be so proud.
As you can tell, the families are all color coordinated. Mother's family in Blue, Aunt Marg's in PINK. Still cannot believe my cousin Ed did not wear pink.....
There were some changes in addresses, etc. that I am still waiting for, to complete my data on the family. Yes this is a hint for the Family.
It was a great Reunion, and the next one will even be better. Hopefully when everyone can make it. A possible 200+ in our family, tho only about 1/4 could make it this year.
Still a great time was had by all, I believe.
