Mostly though, the reunion is simply a family get-together where we catch up on what's happening in each other's lives. Unlike many years ago, most of us are scattered all over the country and the world. We seldom see each other except at the annual reunion. Maybe the Internet can bring us closer together. Our reunions are not spectacular events.
Some families have reunions that are gala events lasting for days.
Somehow, that's never been our style. I remember reunions with 50 or 60 people, and as few as 11. Mostly, I remember good times. The 2000 reunion was great. We met at a picnic shelter at Verona Beach State Park.
