It has been a couple of years since we last posted anything on the blog. On May 18th, we had a family reunion at the Lakeview Country Club in Hartsville SC. It was a wonderful day, visiting with family and getting some good eatin' southern family style. Also, the kids had a great time on the playground and visiting on the lake around the clubhouse was fun. Jenkins had everyone get up and introduce their part of the family and he read some of what we have written on the family. When Howard got up, Bessie announced that Howard and she have been married for 72 years. How remarkable is that!!!!
Jenkins also told talked about the progress on the family pavilion. Billy, Raymond and Jenkins planted 200+ long leaf pines on the property and hope to get 500 total planted. Also Kyle is looking into seeing if we can clean up the property where the Teal family is buried and to put a fence around it.
It was a fantastic time for all as you can see from the group photo below!!! Thanks to Martin Pate (Nena's son-in-law) for taking this fabulous photo. Lots of smiling faces and lots of young people.
Also here are other photos taken at the reunion. If you took any photos, please pass them along and we will post them. Also if you have old family photos or a family story, we are delighted to add them. All you young ones, should ask your parents and grandparents to tell a family story which we can post!!!
