The First Weekend in July - Every Year
85 Years and Counting . . .
We look forward to "seeing" you this summer at our annual family reunion.
The reunion began as a birthday celebration for Great Grandma Carrie Brinkley Williams, Granddaddy Tom’s mother, each July 26. After her passing, Granddaddy Tom decided to continue the tradition and bring the family together at his birthday, July 5th. Our family reunion has been held the first weekend in July ever since.
