 Reunion 2007 is now history, but what a great history and what a great event! Over 70 persons from the Marshall and Bowering families and the extended families took part and we had great weather, though a day or two beforehand it didn’t look that promising as we had a severe rainstorm that altered a few of our plans. But, by Saturday, the sunny weather was upon us and it lasted throughout the entire reunion.
While the numbers were a few less than had been anticipated – which we knew beforehand – those that came were from all over - from Pasadena (So. Aust.), Xi’an (Shaanxi, China), Vancouver (BC), Burnaby (BC), Port Moody (BC), Port Coquitlam (BC), Vernon (BC), Lumby (BC), Kelowna (BC), Winnipeg (Man.), Cape Cod (Mass.), Wingham (Ont.), Belmore (Ont.), Newton (Mass.), Concord (Mass), Cohoes (NY), Oakville (Ont.), Oneonta (NY), Pittsford (NY), Ithaca (NY), Chittenango (NY), Kingston (Ont.), and Ottawa (Ont.). And the ages of the attendees ranged just as much - from 9 months of age to 82 years.
