<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Reading everyones comments on reunions has been
interesting. When I was a child-</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>long ago - my mothers family had a reunion at
Silver Creek Falls called the Rich- Roth</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>reunion. (I always wondered why they were
called rich when everyone seemed poor.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Later discovered that was the name. There
were 75-80 people in attendance. The</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>tradition has continued through the years.
Now moved to a cousins house. I think it</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>could be published better - not many younger people
attend.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My husbands family has a reunion every 5
years. One was in Kansas that over 90</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>people of all ages attended. Well planned
with activities for everyone. I realize these</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>type of reunions take a lot of work &
dedication on the part of the organizers but they</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>even had an outside speaker who told of the
migration from Germany & settlement in</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Oklahoma & Kansas. The person was right
who said all you have to bring is yourself,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>pictures and an open mind.</FONT></DIV>
