Dear All, It has been busy, busy since we arrived back home and this is the first chance in about 4 days I have had to check email and stuff. We arrived in Amherst, Thursday before the reunion, checked with John and Ann Yarnell and made final plans for the event. Fred and Marilyn Robblee arrived that evening, by train, from Fullerton, CA. Friday morning we met them in Amherst for coffee and met Joyce Atkin and her friend Sue Holmes from Chico, CA. The rest of the morning was spent getting groceries and related items needed for meal preparations for Saturday. In the afternoon, Joyce, Sue, Fred, Becki, Alisa, and I travelled to the home of Keith O. Robblee in Wallace, NS. After a chat, Keith guided us to a Marker that commerates the land grants for the Loyalists on Wallace Bay, and then onto the cemetary in which John Robblee, Loyalist, d 14 Jan 1810 is buried. His daughter and 2 of her sons are buried there as well. Later that afternoon, we met Lois Robblee, and Ed and Albert Robblee and family, who were setting up camp in the field below John Roblee's home. And about the same time, more travellers from Mass. arrived. Lois and Bruce Hamilton, Bob and Delores Whitmarsh, Nancy and Bill LaFrond and made their introductions. Dinner that evening was a family get-together at a local restaurant on the outskirts of Pugwash. Saturday was Reunion Day. While the kids swam in John's pool, family gathered for family tree discussion. Becki and Alisa completed some of the meal preparations. Later, the family gathered at the communty/fire hall in Oxford. More genealogy, a family group photo, and much sharing among family, near and distantly related. Supper was a buffet, including roast beast, baked potatoes, salads and desserts. Everyone did their part to make the day a success. Sunday, a Church service was held in the area where the family has lived all these years and a luncheon thereafter. Becki, Alisa, and I were unable to attend this gathering, because we were taking Fred and Marilyn to Yarmouth to catch their ferry Monday AM. We were glad to meet all those folks which has put faces to names that before were only on charts. And there will be many exchanges ongoing from now as we bring family details up to date. Keep in mind that the next Rob/b/lee Reunion will be held the first weekend in July, 2005 on Prince Edward Island. Jean [Robblee] Beer and her sister, Ruth [Robblee] Conner have graciously agreed to arrange details there for then. HOpe to hear from you soon. As always, Bob
