Jim, Some of the people that are going to the Mowery reunion are related thru the Hunkapillar line. They married into the Mowery family. My great grandmother was a Hunkapillar sister to these that married into the line. Due to my recent surgery I will not be able to attend the reunion this year and sure do have regrets that I cannot attend. I know that what you have to say will be interesting. Have a safe trip.
