A Mini-Reunion

The Gregory Girls and Fisher Boys got together on Saturday afternoon for the first time in several years. The cousins have always been close because their mothers Alice Gregory and Floy Fisher-Ruggles are sisters and best friends. In fact the kids consider each other to be like brothers and sisters and are also best friends.

The afternoon began with a lunch at Floy & Ray's house and visiting. After Leah, Leone and Sherri stopped by the Legion Hall to check in to see who was there, they all loaded up in cars and drove out to Steve & Tammy Workman's farm where the Gregory's lived while growing up. Some of the group drove by the various places where Alice, Floy and their Crabtree ancestors lived and went to school.

Dick Gregory and Sharna (Fisher) Richardson were the only two missing, but Dick and Sharon, his wife, phoned later in the afternoon to be included in the gathering.

Family members who attended the mini-reunion were Alice Gregory, Ray & Floy Ruggles, Dwight & Leah (Gregory) Brewer, Kenny & Leone (Gregory) Carlson, Sherri Gregory, Eunice (Gregory) Richard and friend David Hernandez, Melvin Fisher, Garry Fisher, Shelley (Beeson) Parker and Abbey Rose, David & Kelly (Beeson) Barger, Kevin Richard Beeson, Lauren (Crabtree) Rohn.

Other visitors at the Ruggles home included Almeda (Bier) Norris from Loveland, CO, Delores (Bier) Zuege of Haigler, Louise (Zuege) Thomsen, of Watts, OK, Pat (Smith) Fortkamp and Dallas Adams.

If you had a family gathering, too, we would love to hear about it. Write to either Floy or Sherri at ffisher@bwtelcom.net or haiglerblogger@gmail.com
