REQUEST FOR INPUT

COUSINS,
a response to our Hill Cousin reunion came from a young lady in Abiline, TX. She is a Hill decendent from Charles Hill, a brother of Roy, Walt, Jess,and Bert.

Charles died young in Oklahoma, leaving a wife and two small girls. Anyway, his great granddaughter, Ashley Mann, has compiled a huge data base on the Hill family geneology and would like to contribute her info to our reunion. My goal is to bring the Lewis Calvin Hill Family up to date, as well as Roy and Walt. Nelle Marie Christensen is working on her family which comes from Roy and Walt's sister Florence. A few of you might remember a BIG birthday party they had for Florence's 90th in Talent in 1998.

So, I'll be calling a few of you for the birthdates of your grandkids, and other nosey questions. It's been fun getting the younger ones accounted for. Our grandparents would be amazed at how many we have now. And looking at Ashley's huge data base, there are many families that are much larger than ours.

Love Sue

NAME TAGS - DARLENE

I have the fun time of making the name tags. If you would like your and your significant other, pic on them, please send me your choice of favorite pic. and where you fit in the family box. I was thinking of using a pic under age of 20 years and at least 600 pixel or 200 resolution for printing purposes if sent by email. I have a scanner if you send it by snail mail. Please send by July1st..

Blank tags will be available at the barbeque if you would like to scribble your own.
