Well another year has come and gone and so has yet another reunion! This year was the sixth Emmons Family Reunion. I'm rather proud that it continues to go strong. I'm sorry to say that because of how busy I was last July when the reunion took place that I didn't write a report on what went on. I do have a copy of the minutes but can't give you a play by play as I have in the past. I will tell you what I can remember and hope that this year I do a better job with getting things updated as they should be. (Lori) Grace was given at about 1:15 and then we all dug into all the fixing's that had been brought by our numerous cousins in attendance. After lunch the reunion business meeting was called to order by predident Keith Emmons. The minutes from the 2004 reunion was read by Roger Wininger and the financial report was given by Phyllis Emmons Wininger. Then I, Lori Stephenson, was called upon to read the names of our cousins who have passed away since the last reunion. A Candle was lit and remained burning in their memory throughout the reunion. Then Norma Emmons Stephenson read a poem to remember or Troops over seas.
