Alger Family Reunion 2008

We had a great turnout for the 2008 Reunion gathering. 113 family members and 15 guests. Games were the real hit of the day for kids and adults (see the photos). They came in right behind the sharing of memories, meeting relatives, and reacquainting with others. It was exciting and emotional for all of us. Family continued to gather through the next 3-4 days enjoying the company. A list of attending families will follow. Photos are pleantiful. Please check the photo show to see all that attended and mainly the games. A fantastic barbeque of pork ribs, chicken, and hot dogs were arranged and cooked by Rick Dawson and Joe. Everyone enjoyed a feast, thanks to these young men. They certainly know their business. The barbeque was plentiful. Leftovers lasted for a few additional meals for many. Merrial Alger was the center of attention for many and probably exhausted after the games but he watched them all. Merrial is in a place of honor at these functions regardless of where he sits. Family members seek him out to introduce themselves and speak to him. Memories and stories provided by Merrial and many of the elder cousins make these events particularly special for many cousins attending for the first time. More to come very soon.
