Wow, you don't know what you missed last night! I just want to let you all know what a great time PCFR had last night at our Social. We had about 40 people attend, including spouses, friends and invited guests. We can't thank Judy and Charles Lewis enough for hosting us again in their beautiful party house, surrounded by their fascinating antique collections. And of course you know Judy is going to have the place decorated and serve a nice buffet and lots of goodies! And I know a big thanks go out to Debbie Hines Gray and Sue Butler for helping her. After the usual meet and greet, we opened the social by introducing our guests and having them speak a moment about what genealogical/historical projects that they were involved in. Some of the invited guests who attended were: Victor Jones, of New Bern, Director of the Kellenberger Room, Craven-Pamlico-Carteret Regional Library in New Bern and Vice-President of the NC Genealogical Society, Martha Elmore and Dale Sauter from the East Carolina University Manuscript Collection; Stan Little, from the Eastern Office of Archives and History in Greenville; and Candace Pearce, head of or involved in many city/community boards dealing with historical aspects of Greenville. Donna Kemp, of Farmville, long a friend of PCFR, was recognized for her work updating our website. After our roundtable introductions and being hungry, William Cox gave us a prayer and we made for the buffet. When we were having our dessert we were pleasantly entertained when Judy Lewis and Debbie Hines Gray graced us with two songs. The rest of the evening was a room full of laughter and genealogy talk (and sneaks back to the goodie table) Bill Kittrell, the founder of our group, who always brings great treasures to share, brought an old photograph album with many rare early photos of Greenville. PCFR is honored that so many of its local members, who come great distances each meeting, continue to support the group. It's as if we have "made a family of friends" and greatly enjoy each other every month we come together and miss those we don't see often. Hope to see you at our May meeting. Roger Kammerer Again a reminder, the restored Humber House opening reception at 10:00 AM, May 8th.... _________________________________________________________________ Rediscover Hotmail®: Now available on your iPhone or BlackBerry http://windowslive.com/RediscoverHotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Rediscover_Mobile2_042009

I am so, so sorry I did not make it to the PCFR Social last night. I had planned to attend, but the chairman of our "Bring the Depot Home" Committee called a meeting at very short notice and I felt I needed to be there. Sounds like I missed a wonderful, fun gathering. Trish On Apr 22, 2009, at 11:34 AM, Roger E. Kammerer wrote: > > Wow, you don't know what you missed last night!
