WOW! The First Edition

December 10, 2005

It's hard to believe that it has only been one week since I
sent out my idea of the "Ultimate Family Reunion". First
and foremost I want to thank everyone for all the wonderful
responses, offers of help and suggestions. It has been
overwhelming, nothing that I haven't been able to handle at
this point. From the responses, it seems from the majority,
that this is a great idea. I haven't slept much from all
the inquires and the like. Not being able to sleep from all
the ideas going through my head. Last Sunday morning very
early (1:30 am) I couldn't sleep, nor my husband. I got up
on the computer and worked some more, until about 4:30. I
had to make myself go to sleep so as not to miss church.
This has given me so much energy, it's hard to stop at any
given time even after 12-18 hours a day! What a nut! Just
ask my husband. After I told him of my plans, he said to
the effect that after 360 years, I would (me being me),
think of something like that!
Anyway, things seem to be coming along great. I have yet to
make contact with you that have offered help. Your time is
coming! I'm still making contacts through Historical
Societys and the like. A lady from the Stonington Times
thinks that it would make a good story for the first of the
year. I told her that it should be a "Public Service
Announcement" for the citizens in the area warning them of
what's to come!
For those whom have not contacted me personally at my email
address ie., the Message Board or Guest Book, please
include your email address so that I can add you to the
"list". This way when it comes to a pre-paid event such as
the lunch and/or dinner, I'll know that whomever has paid
for it so that someone won't be able to walk in off the
street and help themselves. We will probably use some type
of ticket(s) that will be mailed to you.
Speaking of which, please include your home address and
phone numbers. That way I will have more than just your
email addresses to contact you by if something huge comes
up;like me dropping dead from stress, just kidding! Some of
you already have; thank you.
Please keep checking the site, I'm adding things daily.
Again, a BIG THANK YOU to all of you! I can't wait to see
you in 2009!
