Good morning list, In the past, I mentioned the SOUTHERY-SUDDERY Log House Dr. Mead SHAFFER just recently rebuilt on his property in Bethel Twp., PA. Last month, I asked Doc if he would consider hosting a reunion for the descendants of Robert SOUTHERY-SUDDERY & yesterday he gave me the go ahead. He hopes to have the reunion this spring, 2003. If anyone is a descendant of Robert SOUTHERY-SUDDERY & is interested in attending this reunion please e-mail me. I'm compiling an e-mail list. First come, first served, just incase we have to many responses. At some point I'm sure there will be a cut off, sorry to say. I would be very interested in knowing your direct lineage to Robert SOUTHERY-SUDDERY. For those of you who are not familiar with Doc SHAFFER's Saturday night dinner parties -- they are "the talk of the town." It is consider an "historic moment" to be invited to Doc SHAFFER's House -- a true walk back in time. The aroma of baking bread, in 18th century ovens, the smells of something roasting on an open fireplaces. Gee, is this Christmas Eve 200 years ago???? I'm sure the SOUTHERY-SUDDERY Reunion will be something you will treasure, in your memory, for a long time to come. :) Happy hunting, Helen (DCHS)
