Reliving Reunion Through the Pictures

I had a challenging July--some minor health issues--but am doing well now. I just now took the time to view all the pictures and videos and found myself laughing out loud all by myself while watching them. A big big thank you to all of you who are photographers and kept these memories alive for all of us. You know, as I watched Mom (Cleora) play her harmonica and Dad (Austin) punch that little toy top....I realized that that short little video clip will be absolutely priceless to us in another 10 year!

I loved reliving the blanket service project, the maypole, the Olympics. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Now, I hope this blog doesn't die. Please take time to add your family updates and news with all of us.

Here's a start:
Leslie Koyle (Rebecca's daughter, Cleora's granddaughter) just had a baby girl on August 4th. She had some lung complications but is improving miraculously. Garth and Leslie are naming her Paige Koyle--quite distinguished name, I think. I can see it now--some novel by Paige Koyle!

Mom (Cleora) continues to care for Dad's (Austin) needs. Somedays are better than others. Once Mom saw an old friend at the grocery store. The friend asked Mom how she was doing and Mom replied that some days were better than others but all in all--"it could be worse". The friend then asked her how Austin was doing. Mom replied. "He's worse!" Dad's humor must be rubbing off on Mom....who said she could be the comedian?

Add your news for all of us to know about. I love you, family. From Marcia PS: Don't forget to reserve next year...June 24, 25, and 26, 2010 for our Reunion. I've already paid the reservation fee with the City of Albion.

Reunion 2009 -

The reunion is behind us now and I hope there are many fun memories. My mind is already exploding with things to do for next year! It is sure to be bigger and better. Hey-Leslie-thanks for the pictures. I had no time to take any for myself and sure appreciate any and all postings of pictures. This is an invitation--no a plea--to any and all attendees: Please send any pictures you think we would enjoy seeing. Hey- it may even entice those that missed this year to join us in 2010.

The one thing I want to be sure and do better next year: Delegation. I can see now that we did not "tap" some talented resources and this will help everything run much smoother next year. Be alert to this resolution because we will be enlisting more help next year as the time approaches. Oh-that reminds me. Please EVERYONE! Reserve the time for next year as early as is required by your employer, etc. Year: 2010 June 24, 25, and 26. (Thursday, Friday, and Saturday).

Thanks again, Marcia

Maypoles are fun (but hard).


What a great skit!
