I have been thinking about our recent Pierson Family Reunion (May 16, 2009) and got to wondering how I was so positive about the family in 1850 information, but couldn't get the information correct on current family members.  I took a bunch of family data sheets to the reunion, but didn't ask people to complete them or even have a sign-in sheet for those who attended.  As I have more and more senior moments, I dasn't try to remember everyone that came.  It has been a little difficult to extract current info from relatives also.  I send out e-mails and get nothing back but excess stomach acid.


    This picture is not of everyone that attended because a couple of people had to leave to go to work.  Jeremy took the picture but for some strange reason is not in it; or, it's one I took while he was setting up his camera to take the picture.   I was really glad that so many people attended.  I hope that this is not the last time this event takes place.  I am willing to be the clearing house for ideas for the next reunion.  Any ideas would be very welcomed.  Maybe we could even have a computer linked communication video for those who cannot attend.....eg live web cast with feed back......there are at least 3 computer whizzes that are in Houston that can set this up.

     Most of the attendees at this reunion were descendants of Daniel Richard Pierson with the other group represented with descendants of William Thomas Pierson.  I gave out PDF books of the Pierson Genealogy to anyone that wanted one.  I had charts of both ancestors of Wesley Harden Pierson and Hallie Pierson as well as their descendants, with photos.....of course I screwed up the descendants identification nicely, but I hope to have all the problems cleared up and new charts ready for the next one.  I was just looking at the picture again....looks like everyone is looking at Pat....do you think he let go with a windy-popper?  I doubt that was the reason lots of folks were looking at him.....they have smiles on their faces and none are holding their noses.  He does have sort of a "guilty as charged" look on his face, doesn't he?  Maybe that's just me.......


     Until the next time, I will continue to do research on the family to see, as Granny once told me, which tree some of these characters were hanging from..........Lots of love to all and prayers for all....  See y'all next time.
