Dear Family!
Thanks to those who were able to come to the Family Reunion, and we sure missed those who couldn't make it! In order to see each other sooner:
1. We are updating a list of family addresses, so watch for that!
2. It was suggested that cousins use the list and contact each other if we are ever in the same town for any reason--to just make the effort to include cousins in our plans as much as possible. The idea was well-said and inspirational.
4. The original seven siblings and spouses are planning to do a reunion during April 2019, probably in Idaho Falls and possibly at the Stowell cabin in West Yellowstone.
5. The "Next Generation" is stepping up to take over coming reunions on an Every-other-year schedule and will be considering all input on location, length and type of event, perhaps opting for one-day reunions, or Arrange-Your-Own-Lodging events. Trina did volunteer a girls' camp in Oregon that is very cost-effective and big enough for all who want to come.
Meanwhile, let's keep each other in our hearts and prayers. Bob has a heart condition that will be needing attention in the coming months, and Brenda Sue's partner, Josh, is having stem cell treatment and needs our support as well.
Aunt Laura took some notes during the Family Reunion that she wants to share in the interest of getting to know each other better, please forgive any misspellings or omissions, knowing they are solely the mistakes of Laura.  :)
