Hello Afrigeneas Family!
This has been a busy summer for me with two family reunions. Both turned out very well. For my more immediate family, the Reed-Puryear Family Reunion was held this past weekend in Pensacola & Destin, FL. We had a great time!! Approximately 200 family members participated, and my family and I are proud of the fact that many of the participants are young generational family members!! (age 35 and under).

My cousin in Pensacola hosted this year's reunion, and she was awesome! I am so proud of her!

Pictures do better in showing the good time than my words can. My cousin, whose a professional photographer, took hundreds of candid snapshots throughout the reunion, and he has placed a gallery on his site. This means that I do not have to be in a rush to place our 2006 reunion photo gallery on our reunion website, but I will get it done soon. However, in the meantime, check out the photos by going to: www.hicksphotocreations.com. Click on RECENT EVENTS. Then click on Reed-Puryear Family Reunion.

I am still tired but gradually, my strength is coming back!
