Wilkins Reunion 2010

Finally figured out what I was doing wrong, so here are pictures from the 2010 Reunion!!

Reunion 2010

In my opinion, and I heard others comment the same, this was one of the best family reunions we have had in some years. First, we took time for each person present to share a memory or two; secondly, I videotaped the gathering and will be sharing those DVDs when I figure out how to use my new software that will allow me to copy the movie tape to a DVD. Oh the favorite memory or at least the quickest to come to mind was the $1 giveaway by Uncle Fed.

Here are the candid photos I took. If others, such as Chris Edwards, will share theirs, I will post them on the blog as well. Maybe that way I might actually get to show that I was present!!

For those who weren't able to make the reunion, we sure missed you!!

WILKINS REUNION 2010

Looking forward to the reunion on Saturday, July 10, at the Vinemont Boy Scout Hut. The meat will be provided at the noon meal, but we ask the families to bring sides, drinks, and desserts to share. Each family is being asked to bring an index card with a "Family Memory" to share with the group. Then I plan to post these memories on this blog and perhaps on Ancestry.com with the Family Tree. We are aware that Aunt Peg will not be able to join us this year. She is the last living child of George and Elon Wilkins - and we wish she could be with us!! Please keep her and her children particularly in your prayers.

Also remember Debbie and Danny Brown in your prayers, her leukemia has returned. Sister Stephanie has organized a bone marrow drive for Saturday, June 19, at the Cullman Church of Christ. Unfortunately, Rex has been ruled out as a possible donor.

I plan to post pictures both to the Wilkins blog, but also on the Scott/Benton Family Tree on Ancestry.com. Those in the picture are:
l-r Front Row: Fed, Ralph, Peg, Sue
l-r Back Row: Polly, Jim, Bert, Heart, Bess, Henry, John.

If you will share your family pictures with me (already scanned would be quicker), I will be glad to add them to the family tree on Ancestry, and on this blog. If you catch any errors, please do not hesitate to let me know.
