Hello Scott and welcome to the list. Thanks for the information regarding the annual meeting of the Avery Memorial Association. I descend from the Avery clan so was glad to get this information. Please do keep us informed about the Associations work...many of us on the list descend from the Averys and of course many other families who lived and settled in New London. Lane Alexander List Admin
