Hello!
Our last family reunion was 14 years ago in Kansas City, MO and it is
long overdue for us to come together. Kansas City cousins (LaShonda
Dockery, Sharlene Drummond, Tammy Jackson, Jackie Golden and me) are
working to arrange a reunion in 2014 (date yet to be determined) but in
the meantime we are planning a trip to Vian, Oklahoma this Labor Day
weekend. The Vian gathering will serve as a precursor to the reunion
that will take place next year. Labor day is on September 2nd this year
and on Saturday, August 31st we are planning to drive from Kansas City,
MO to Vian (about a 4 hour drive). While in Vian we will visit the
grave site of Birdie and Robert Herron, the old farm land and any other
places that remain as a reminder of our history. We plan to spend the
night in Muskogee, OK (about 20 minutes from Vian) and drive back to KC
Sunday morning.
We are would like to get a head count to see who might be interested in the journey.
The Vian Labor Day trip is coming up soon. If you think you might be
able to make it please RSVP as soon as possible (by July 13th if
possible) to my email account which is bbybeth@yahoo.com. If you have
any questions, please call 816-966-0283.
Looking forward to connecting and catching up.
Sending Peace!
Beth
