THE ALEXANDER REUNION
July 3-11, 2009

Joe Ervin Retreat House

These reunions seem to get better all the time. A family tree on paper is not for us.... our enjoyment is of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins in person down to the 4th generation. Forty were here this year plus three for the weekend only. Of the 43 here, six were from the oldest generation and six from the youngest generation. Everyone is either a child, child-in-law, grandchild, grandchild-in-law or great-grandchild of the six oldest.
