Family Reunion - New Bern NC

Not too many weeks ago, the subject of my blog was my Mother and Grandmother, who not surprisingly were very influential in my life.

Next week we go south to New Bern, NC for our annual family reunion. As family reunions goes, this reunion is modest, in that includes only descendants of our Mother and started fairly recent .

After my Mother passed away in 1997, some of us were concerned that since our matriarch was no longer with us that we would stop getting together as a family. We made a vow to continue getting together as a family at least once a year and I’m happy to say that this year event will be our 12th reunion.

As i pack to go down, I thought it would be nice to include some pictures from our past reunions.
