On our way to the Long Reunion last weekend, I was afraid we were going to be rained on all day.
While it did drip a little, the shelter kept us dry: L-R Dave Morgan, Dave Long, Bill Long.
Bill always brings something to share with us. Sometimes it is a photo, sometimes a shot gun, but this time, he brought his grandfather's watch.
Tom Long was my great-grandfather---most of these people are really my Dad's first cousins.
Virginia Lea was there with several of her daughters.
Pauline Long Schlett and Paul Long (Clyde's son)
Pauline Long Schlett (Jeptha's granddaughter) and Margie (Clyde Long's widow). Margie arranged for us to be at Spross Park which is very nice with some privacy---playground is close to the shelter.
Van Alen Long (Curtis's son) was there with his son Billy.
Billy talking with Paul's two daughters.
When it cleared a little, Pauline and I took a little walk.
Then, we joined everyone for some more chatter.
I am so happy Pauline and Walter came---turns out Pauline is a triple cousin of mine, but then, she's a cousin to herself, too (she is related to William Graham three times). And, it is always a pleasure to see Bill.
