[or-roots] re: reunions

[karen thomas]

Reading everyones comments on reunions has been interesting.  When I was a child-
long ago - my mothers family had a reunion at Silver Creek Falls called the Rich- Roth
reunion.  (I always wondered why they were called rich when everyone seemed poor.)
Later discovered that was the name.  There were 75-80 people in attendance.  The
tradition has continued through the years.  Now moved to a cousins house.  I think it
could be published better - not many younger people attend.

My husbands family has a reunion every 5 years.  One was in Kansas that over 90
people of all ages attended.  Well planned with activities for everyone.  I realize these
type of reunions take a lot of work & dedication on the part of the organizers but they
even had an outside speaker who told of the migration from Germany & settlement in
Oklahoma & Kansas.  The person was right who said all you have to bring is yourself,
pictures and an open mind.
