SUCCESSFUL REUNION

We arrived home about 2:30 this afternoon. It was about a 4 hour 45 minute trip for us including a food and gas stop and driving 60 mph on a mostly 2 lane highway.

The reunion was a great success - nearly 300 people there from far and near - including a barefoot (homeless?) man in a green t-shirt and a ponytail who I think enjoyed a delicious meal with the rest of us.

I think Lynn and Cousin Tom and anyone else who helped organize this reunion deserves a big hand. I mostly just walked around and enthusiastically said "Hi Cousin" to everyone. I'm hoping someone will post some pictures. The Klopfenstein name seems to be quite prominent in the Fort Wayne/Leo/Graybill area. We saw several business's with that name - including the huge furniture store to which the K Inn & Suites was attached.

Those present from the Peter/Sophia Clan were Larry/Nancy Stahl; the Morton Paul K and his Betty; Ang, Kelsie, Heater, Nathan; Jason, Janice, Zac, Noah, Miles; Lynn/Mim; Rhoda; Mary/Joey; Perry/Carol; Jerry and me. Alice/Keith were there but Alice got sick and didn't want to infect the others, so they left early.

A good time was had by all. Thanks, Lynn and Mim
