Reunion 2000

On Sunday July 16, 2000, my immediate family had a reunion, our first in 5 years. The next day I used my annual MABC outing to visit the Frederik Meijer Gardens to see Leonardo da Vinci's Horse and then to see a couple of movies. Here are the pictures. When I name people in a picture, it will be from left to right.

We held our reunion in a conference room in Metropolitan Hospital, Grand Rapids, Michigan. My 8 brothers and sisters, with their families, were here. Our Aunt, Dorothy Phillips, also attended.
