Reunion 2018, Original Reunion Newsletter.  Dear families, I hope you and your families are well.  Ever since my husband's funeral in 2015 (Edward Lee Ayers, Sr.), I have dreamed that we could have a family reunion in 2018.  I held the first reunion in 1995, so after 22 years, it's about time we get together again. One of the first tasks is to put together a family list so that we can see if there is enough interest in having a reunion.  Below is a survey form, and we would appreciate your response as soon as possible.  (If there is enough interest, a lot of planning will be necessary, and we need enough lead time.)  I know some of you have been meticulously keeping up with a family tree and/or address book.  Is your tree in a copy-able format that you could send to me?  I have a pretty good address list of my immediate family, but I especially don't know the details about you, aunts, uncles and cousins.  We want to include all branches or our tree.  At a minimum, p
