The Wilheit/Wilhoit family enjoyed a day (Thursday) of touring and a great dinner at a home near Ashland, Va. maybe three years ago. That was especially enjoyable as it gave me a chance to get to know some of my "cousins" before beginning the reunion activities. That made the reunion much more enjoyable. Some of us come from other states and really do not know the local cousins and Foundation officers. I come for the good history I hear at the event. Maybe families could gather on Thursday or Friday evenings for group dinners rather than have the bar-be-que. And, the Friday tours might be cut a bit shorter. The Second Colony Tour seemed a bit long this year. I wish the Auction could begin sooner on Saturday night. Maybe a few of the items to be auctioned could be on view in the Vendors area on Saturday. Possibly two, three or four selected items could be on a silent auction table during the day on Saturday. Biding time could be cut off for any item any time and this would be a surprise so people would want to get their bids in before bidding closes. Then the winners could be announced at the end of the last Saturday afternoon session. I think the mini-camp for children is a great idea. I enjoyed all of the speakers. I do not connect to the family, but certainly enjoyed the good history in John's presentation. Since he had been discussed on this site, I think that made it more interesting. I enjoyed the Sunday morning speaker and would not have wanted to miss that, but the day did drag out a bit and lunch was not terribly exciting. I can remember better times. My appreciation to those who worked so hard to make the reunion events happen.
