What is a Family Reunion

The time that we are able to spend together is special. This is what a family reunion is supposed to be about. We have so much to share, so much to tell, much more to reflect. All that I really want is to spend time with you, sharing and reflecting.

With this in mind, I would like to inquire with each of you to explore your own ideas of family, of gathering, of a reunion and the time that we can spend TOGETHER as a group of related individuals better known as a family.
I want to reflect on those that have gone before us, those that will join us later either in birth, marriage, adoption, or inertia.

I am consulting with Uncle Alfonso, my father (Uncle Arnold) and my kid brother (Jason) about where and what, but we need real credible input. from everyone. I am not saying that you should not go on vacation, we want to see and share and enjoy, we don't all live down the block or around the corner. To date our clan encompasses nine different states, at least three foreign countries, and I do not know how many cities. We have enormous resources at our disposal, and we need to be able to share with each other, our time, our love and our company. We have elders that are becoming more elderly, and it would benefit all of us if we could all spend more time with each other. I am not on Facebook right now, because of professional requirements. I have built the beginnings of a substantial family tree that I am willing to share, it is able to accomplish a many things, most importantly we can see the road on we have trod and those that have preceeded us and enabled us to arrive where we are now.
