The Decker reunion was held last Oct 10-13 centering around Shawngunk, Ulster Co NY. It was organized by Dr Wayne Decker of UT, Bob Decker of VA, and others. The meetings and meals were in the RDC with side trips. The present owner of the Johannes Decker (T house begun in 17210) was the gracious hostess for an afternoon of touring, visiting and refreshments. Marc Fried, author of "The Early History of Kingston and Ulster County NY", was a speaker as well as members of the group. Also, tours of New Paltz, the Senate House, and the Old Dutch Church in Kingston. Saturday's lunch was at the 1776 Colonial Inn, originally a Decker house. A Decker family association was started, officers elected, family history and memorabilia shared. Presently there is not much activity. My own role has been to seek out people who may be interested. It is hoped to gather and share Decker family information. Robert Mominee has a web site with a lot of info-it shows a huge amount of work. Robert has volunteered to develop a separate Decker data base after he finishes some other projects . You may want to have a look at http://www.geocities.com/~Heatland/Ranch/2697. Bob subscribes to this list so I'll let him tell you how to submit material for inclusion. Hats off to Bob who has done a ton to help others with their research. The reunion was terrific-the Decker cousins are great people!! There were about 90 from 18 states. With a family organization many more could be advised of the opportunity to join for a good time!
