Reunion  2012

       Updates
01-05-12  -  Invitation emails went out today  

01-06-12  -  Check out the lodging information and driving directions on the Reunion 2012 page.  I've                                 heard from Jim & Jean, Ted & Bobbie, FredGA & Mary Anne & Jerry and they're planning to                               come.  Let me know if you're coming so I can add your name to the list.  

01-18-12  -  I look forward to hearing from you. So, as soon as you can determine you are able to attend
                    please let me know so I can include you here.  

                    Also, like the last time we met, I will be providing food and soft drinks, tea etc.  I will not 
                    try to set a fixed price for food but rely on your free will offering to help cover expenses.  You
                    will need to provide your own spirits.

01-19-12  -  I saw that Ottsie Kriemelmyer signed my guest book indicating he too will try to attend.
  
03/15/12 -  Well, we've had several snowfalls since the last entry but only enough to make it pretty and
                    then be gone again.  Dan Soule has indicated he will see what he can do about coming up                              and I spoke with Ingrid Hunte and she said she would try to come down from NY with her
                    daughters.  Please let me know if you can make it as I will post it here so others know you                        will be attending.  I believe Larry Naukam and his wife will be down from NY as well.            

04-08-12  -   The mountains are turning green again, the grass is growing and the flowers are going in
                     and are starting to bloom.  The garden has been turned and is ready for planting.  I am 
                     hoping we will have a good turn out in June.  We're not that far from the DC area.  If you
                     feel it is too far to drive for a day trip I have included lodging information in hopes that will                             entice you to come and join the family and see some of us you haven't seen since the last                             funeral.  We look forward to seeing you in June.

                    Hi everyone,

                    Reunion day, Sat June 23rd, is getting close and now it is time for me to start making final                              plans for food and drink.  As in the past we will provide soft drinks and you should provide                              any beer or other spirits that you may want.

                    I have heard from Jim & Jean, Ted & Bobbie,  Kim & Shayna, Fred, Mary Anne & Jerry, Ottsie,                          Ingrid Hunte, Larry Naukam, Judy, Brent and Aunt Katherine and they are all planning to                                  attend.

                    What I need now is to have you confirm that you will or will not be able to attend.  Please                              RSVP by email by 5/26/12.

                    I really hope that everyone will come.  We don't see each other enough and anyhow its a                                nice ride in the country. 

                    Also, if you see someone's email that is incorrect or absent would you kindly do two things                              for me  (1)  Pass this note onto to them and (2) Send me their email address so I can add it                            to my address book.

                    I look forward to seein' y'all next month!

                    Take care,

                    Henry

05-22-12     The RSVPs are rolling in and by the end of the week I'll have a good idea who is planning to  
                    attend.  I will put up a list of all those planning to be here.



05-29-12      Well, it looks like we're going to have a good turnout.  Harry and Millie and Dan won't
                     be able to be with us.  Also, let us keep Karen Soule in our prayers as she is unable to be
                     with us as well.  Below is a list of all who have indicated that they plan to attend.  I am

Drive safely and we look forward to seeing everyone on the 23rd!
                     

  07-10-12    Well, now that I have gotten caught up I just wanted to say what a GREAT day I had
                     with so many of us together and it not being a funeral.  There were 60+ of us here and 
                     it was good to see everyone.  There were a number of family members that were unable
                     to attend and they were missed.  But, hopefully they will be able to make it next time.
                     Thanks for such a good turn out and visit.

                     It looks like we're going to get on a regular schedule for family reunions.  We will have a 
                     reunion in every even year.  The third or fourth week-end in June seems to work for most                           people. Lorrie and I will host any reunion if no one else indicates an interest to do so.  I will                       gladly coordinate communications for the reunions starting in January of the reunion year.   
                     At this point, Ted & Bobbie Parker have indicated they want to host the next reunion in                              2014.   So, mark your calendars to hold the date and we'll see you then.
