Also in attendance were Mr.

the group on Saturday
evening and Dr. Robert Perry who spoke to us during our visit to the Samuel
May House. Those who arrived on Friday
evening the 25th had dinner together and afterwards shared in family
pictures and stories. On Saturday morning after breakfast, as a
group, we visited the Samuel May House.
Afterwards, several of the group visited family gravesites: some
going with Nancy May to the Thomas May and other gravesites; others
going with Jean Watson and Marquita Otis to the Reuben and Sally
Allen May gravesite and other Reuben line graves.
Returning to the Lodge in
the afternoon, we all had dinner together and later adjourned to a
conference room. Mr. Bill Patton and Mr. Eldon "Jack" May
spoke to the group about the settling of Maytown, which was named for
Reuben May. The group shared with each other well into the evening
and after breakfast on Sunday morning left to hopefully return
again in 2002.

the name of anyone who attended the reunion was omitted in the list
of attendees, PLEASE forgive. I can update this page to make any
necessary corrections.
