The Whitlock Reunion was a wonderful event. We had 32 of us at the Pioneer Room of the Lion House. Jimmy, Cody, and Patsy came early on Thursday for extra visiting time and stayed with Karen and Richard.
The set up was very nice. The tables were in one room and the food was in the other.

We had a wonderful time sharing family news, singing, eating, laughing, and remembering. We missed those who weren't able to be with us. We are very grateful for the loving family bonds that unite us. Many people traveled great distances out of very busy schedules to spend the afternoon together so the time together for a happy reason was particularly cherished.
