Ben Raines, our newest member.
Friday and Saturday were both filled with activities for guys and gals, tours of parks and museums , restaurants, pottery stores and a trip to the country village with a little bit of a lot of things.
Saturday night back at the Legion Hall a feast of BBQ pork and chicken with all the trimmings. It was FINE!!!!!!! Thanks to Bill and Mary's sons Kelvin and Nolin, their family and friends for cooking and getting things ready for us.
(A note ) Alan Meyer said Grace for all meals, for an Ol' Cowboy he sure did a fine job of Blessing the food with his beautiful Prayers.
While we ate we were entertained by one of Mary's friends, Diane Fisher, who sung several songs to put us in the mood for the AUCTION.
After the entertainment, the business meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance to our Flag. Next was the Secretary/Treasury Report, then Old Business and then on to New Business. Billie K and Jill Allen gave a generous donation to the group for a hotel room donated by Eugene Austin and Carole, we wish to thank them all.
We then introduced the newest member of the group Ben Raines, then a letter was read from Paul Hickenbottom with good news on his recovery and no cancer.
Next Dennis Kinworthy said he and Mary Ann would host the reunion in St. Louis next year 2014, more information to follow.

Paul HIckenbottom agreed to continue the Blog along with the help of his daughter Georgia. Note the blog address is at the top of the page for anyone having trouble, just click on it.
The Auction was very exciting with Alan Meyer having the hall ringing with his auctioneering and modeling of some unique items, thanks to all who donated. Extra thanks to Paul and Mary for sending items and the posters shared by all and to Alan and Linda for cards for all in attendance, and to Carole who made sure the book Flags of our Fathers made it to the Auction, which was purchased this year by me, Richard Chapman. The Auction brought in over $850.00
We really want to thank our hosts, the Moores, and their family for a great reunion. Hope I didn’t leave anyone out, there will be pictures to follow. Be sure to check out the blog for all pictures and recipes on the Tasty Tuesday page.
Thanks and hope to see all at the 2014 reunion

To get you in the mood to start thinking about our reunion, take a look at these reminders from September. If anyone has the names of the individuals in the pictures, I would be delighted to post them as well.
