Hi,
Just a note to say that I'm very excited about the reunion-it will great to see everyone. I tried to reserve the pavalion( they only have one) at Monument Valley Park but it was not available. Thought about trying another location but, after speaking with Carol, decided to go with Monument as it was the sight of every get together. We can put up a canopy for shade. Someone will need to be at the park as early as possible to get a spot-I'll be happy to do that.
Thanks to Carol & Mike for the idea of getting together.
Bob

Hello to everyone in my dear family,
I'm so excited about getting together with everyone after at least 34 years. I think it's longer than that, even.
Last week, I left a message for Uncle Boyd, but haven't heard back. Also, Marolyn was making plane reservations. Bob's sister lives in Ft. Collins, so they'll include visiting her in their visit to Colorado.
Rhonda, thank you so much for setting up the blog. If we all post any new info on it, and check it fairly often, it'll be so easy for everyone to keep updated on plans and changes in plans. I'm sending the blog address to everyone here.
So far on our end, Michel, Mark, Annabelle and Jackson will definitely be there. Joe, Jennifer and Alivia may be there, and also our adopted son, Sam, and his family, Cathy, Caitlynn, and Justin may be there.
(The story on that is that Joe and Sam have been best friends since first grade. Both boys called each other's parents "Mom and Dad", and thought of each other as brothers. When they grew up, they married sisters, Jennifer and Cathy. After Sam's Dad and Mom died, we were blessed that he continued to think of us as his adopted parents, and has let us be grandparents to his and Cathy's kids. If they can come, they want to meet you all.)
Won't it be wonderful to see everyone? It will do me a world of good to be with you all again.
This reunion is just making my year. I love you all.

Reunion in July 2009
Carol and Mike Robson will travel from Missouri to Colorado in late July, and are inviting everyone to join them for a family reunion.
Here's what we've planned so far:
We'll meet for a picnic on Sunday, July 26, in Monument Valley Park, Colorado Springs. This is the same park where we met for reunions in the "good old days," although it's changed a little.
Here's a link to information about the park:

Bob Peck is checking on reserving space (probably a pavilion) in the park.
For anyone who will need a place to stay, here's a link to a nearby hotel:

I live less than 10 minutes away from the park. My apartment is small, but I have a futon in my living room if anyone can't get into a hotel. I also have two cats, so allergies may be a problem.
I'll clear out space in my refrigerator for anyone who needs to store food and beverages for a while. Let's all remember our food safety rules! I speak as someone who once suffered greatly from potato salad I ate at a summer party. ;-(
