I've just returned home from a very successful 1997 Reunion of the Kemp Family Association. Over 20 Kemp researchers spent 3 days rummaging libraries, books and CD's in the suite, listening to lectures, and spending money on books. And of course, we've totally gorged ourselves on seafood!!! The Annual Association Meeting was held on Saturday, November 8th. The following items of business were completed.... 1) The current Board of Directors has been re-elected for another year. They are: President - Gene Kemp of Indiana Vice President - Steve Holt of Florida Sec'y/Treasurer - Bob Young of Connecticut Historian - Kay Taylor of Texas Webmistress - Linda Dolby of Texas 1998 Reunion - Linda Dolby 2) It was approved by the members to provide the Historian with $100 on an annual basis to help cover copying and postage expenses. 3) It was approved to maintain the annual dues at $10 for U.S. addresses, and $15 for foreign addresses. 4) Kevin Kemp of Salt Lake City has agreed to be the host for our 1999 Annual Reunion 5) It was approved that the 2000 Annual Reunion will be held in North Carolina.
