Tom went through Denver to take Steph & family to the 2007 reunion. On the way, they stopped in Conneaut. Val, Kelly and I flew to Ohio then drove to the reunion. Kelly & James had never been to Niagara Falls or Lake Erie so we made some detours on our trip.
In May 2007, Tom and I met mother, Dorothy, and Dave in Mobile, AL for the USS Evans Reunion.
August 2006, I learned about the REA side of my family. Denise Hall organized a small reunion in NW Pennsylvania. I hope to be able to attend the next one. While I was in Conneaut this summer (2007), mother and I met cousin Denise and her father in Girard, PA.
May 2005, Tom and I attended the USS Evans Reunion in Milwaukee, WI with my mother, Dorothy and Dave.

I've entered the rest of the FRARY data at Rootsweb (2 books and 5 suppliments) and have made cd's of the data. I've sent out several copies and supplied FFA copies for the reunion.
