Hi All! We had a wonderful time at the 2001 Reunion. It was good to see
the regulars and to meet new attendees. The weather held out for us and
Vermont was beautiful.
On Saturday's journey we went to the Corinth Cemetery that Paul Tenney
has been working on. Paul played wagon train leader thru many towns and dirt
roads and never lost a soul. (Everyone was too lost to even dare to venture
away!) He has done a wonderful job in creating beautiful color pictures and
genealogy outlines of those buried there, along with the other cemetery
photos that have been forwarded to him. We went to Martha's resting place
and placed 3 pots of assorted color moms.
Tenney Family Genealogist, Debbie Montgomery, gave a wonderful lecture
Saturday evening of her genealogy project accompanied by huge stacks of
print outs of her work. It was astonishing! The next edition of the Tenney
Family Genealogy will be several volumes! We were completely blown away with
her work.
The Sunday morning Officer's meeting was intense with various issues to
cover, and to tally the out come. Kay did a wonderful job as a last minute
stand in. We appreciate all her assistance in helping make the reunion a
success. She was a real worker in helping with the picnic as was Carol Dubke,
Nancy Newhall. Thanks Kay, we couldn't have done it without you. The meeting
in the lovely new Tenney Memorial Library was wonderful. For those who had
not seen it, we were very impressed with the architecture.
The Tenney Memorial Library Board of Trustee's gave us a light luncheon
following the meeting. A very generous check was presented to the library
this year as well as a beautiful plaque in memory of Lewis Noble Tenney,
Sr., presented and hung in the research area of the Library.
Tenney merchandise sales amounted to $428.84 and will be forwarded to the
treasurer.
The group passed a motion to create a Tenney commemorative coin to be
sold by the association.
We hope that we have given credit where credit is due, perhaps other
officers that were there, can fill you in as well. If anyone has any
questions, please feel free to write. -- Debby Bianchi, Curator
