I didn't know there was a reunion there!! I've only been a Masters for a couple of years. I was adopted!!! I've met my birth mother and her family and my birth father and some of his family. So, I'm researching my birth father's side at the moment. I've only been to 1 Masters reunion and that was this past September at Table Rock. It's odd that these people did not know the name of Ben "Blue Buck" Masters. According to what I've heard, Ben and his wife lived at Table Rock and he got his nickname from the blue mountain fields that he farmed at Table Rock. BUT - that's pure hearsay, so I'm not sure if it's true or not. If you can shed some light on this family for me, I certainly would appreciate it. Ben and Pamelia raised my 3rd gr-grandfather and Dice was his first cousin. Thanks again, and I look forward to hearing from you soon! -Dana
