REUNION UPDATED
I guess the first thing i need to do is tell you about Les's reunion. There was almost 200 people present. It was great. Les and his sisters got to talk to relatives they hadn't seen in 40 years. There were cousins there from Ca, Wa, Or and Ut. His sister and kids came from Az. And his sister from Or ,and her husband, neither who i've met before, were there. They have an uncle still living in Blackfoot and he was there. His name is Moran and he's 86. He looks great. We made nametags for everyone. They talked and cryed all day. We went around the tables and everyone introducted themselves. Telling us about their families and how they were related to one another. Which was nice for me, being new and all. The day was wonderful for my husband and his sisters. It was alot of work but was soooo worth it seeing their faces when people walked up to them. Next year i hope to find some more of the family i couldn't find this year. I think everyone was sad when the sun went down and the evening drew to a close. But we now have correct addresses and phone numbers for everyone. Our Christmas card list got very long that day. I had such a nice time. We had games for the kids and lots of candy. There was plenty of food and drink. We had a white elephant auction. and some guessing games for the adults. There was a swimming pool and also swing sets to play on. I can barely wait for next year.

Thank you for all of your hard work in making the reunion successful. My mom really enjoyed reconnecting with her cousins and enjoyed being with her family. It seemed like everyone had a good time. Thanks again.
