Pack the whole family including grandma and the kids, and plan to spend the day. Don't forget your camera, family histories, old photos, and tall tales! Natchez Trace Park is on I-40 at Exit 116, in Tennessee about mid-way between Memphis and Nashville. The park is in the area settled by the original Boyds, Butlers and connected families who came to West Tennessee from North Carolina by wagon train in the early 1800's. For more information on Natchez Trace and its amenities, go to: http://www.state.tn.us/environment/parks/natchez/index.html Plans for a catered lunch have been cancelled in favor of continuing our tradition of sharing a pot-luck meal together. Just bring enough lunch for your own family group (and a little extra to share with others.) Lunch will be at noon. Sherman Glenn Boyd, a driving force in our annual gathering, was recently called to active duty. But for more information about this year's reunion, call Sherman's wife, Charlene in Atwood at (731) 662-7577; Bendell Boyd in Huntington (731) 986-8107; Pam Boyd in Lexington (731) 968-2352; John Boyd in Lexington (731) 968-4375 or Nathan Boyd in Jackson (731) 661-0858. Be sure to communicate with Charlene if you want to order sovenirs--her order needs to be in by March 31st. Please help spread the news about our reunion to Boyds who may not be on our e-mail or mailing lists. Hope to see you at the Trace on June 28th!
