June, Interesting that you should write about that. I would like to know as well. I have been so curious about it. Two of my sons received info re that reunion. I'm not positive, but I think we did as well. It all sounded very legitimate but I never heard another word nor saw anything more about it on the web site given on the brochure.

Folks, The above lists are gatewayed to the corresponding Rootsweb Message Boards. Although Rootsweb has SPAM-filters in place for the mailing lists, the Message Boards are open and subject to SPAM. I used to monitor the Message Boards gateway postings prior to posting to the lists but stopped some time ago as there was no abuse. Until now...yesterday a posting made it to the MOFFAT list. I apologize for it and from now one will be once again monitoring gateway postings before forwarding them to to the lists (and reporting and removing the offending messages from the Message Boards).
