Even though I only get the long phone cord hooked up every couple of days, I am pleased you all are talking among yourselves and not doing bad things (like with the mccarthy list I administer too) per the teacher having to leave the classroom. I had no idea there had been any Knowlton reunions in over 100 years! Held in Boston in 1896 with over 200 in attendance, it sounded like a fun affair. Nowadays things would be somewhat different. All the officers would not be men, for instance. As a Knowlton from a tiny thin line, knowing no others but my own nuclear family, I would be interested in staring at everyone at least once. :>} I suspect I have aspergers syndrome and that it came down through my father. But, hey, it makes me a great archivist, so I am not complaining. After a great deal of effort, I located a fourth cousin Knowlton and met him once to hand back a family Bible belonging to his branch. But it was not an ongoing relationship since he was not a genealogist. Signing up for the dna test would be a lot cheaper than going to a reunion. No one responded to my plea that those of you with the male stuff join the ongoing project. Would love to hear about those west coast reunions, past and future. I have no skills in that direction but would attend anything I did not have to fly to get to. Elizabeth W. Knowlton
