Family Reunion

The Trunk

The family reunion was a huge success.  We put up a large party tent on Friday and just before the high winds hit and tried to take it down.  We would never have succeeded in putting it up if it had not been for all the help we had from Cindy and Ken Clairmont's family.  The shade it provided kept things nice and cool.  The kids loved four-wheeling all over the place.  We had about 100 attending and had lots of food and games, face painting and kareoke after dark which was also popular.  Gary started a fire in the pit which was enjoyed by the family members that stayed in their camper at the ranch.  The rest of the family members either stayed at their homes, with family members or at the Mustang Motel in Townsend.  Kelly, Shonas, Debbie, Salam, Sharah, Junior and Tristan were all at the motel along with their cousin Brian and his wife Cheryl.  Mike's girlfriend, Jennifer and Julie and Damon were also at the reunion so my entire immediate family was there and we did not get any pictures of us all together.

I had brought my grandmother's trunk (Lela Gertrude Parker Campbell) to the reunion and we all went through it.  I gave everything that was in that trunk to anyone of the family that wanted it. The trunk, Elda's picture and wedding dress goes to Susan Stobie Roe, the daughter of Carol Campbell Faldorf and the grand daughter of Clarence (Toot) and Stella Walter Campbell.
