Dear Joanne,

It is now a month ago when we had the family reunion. I can tell you it
was a great party with all the Uncles and Aunts, cousins and second
cousins around. Even the family members that were maybe a bit skeptical
at first admitted they have had a great time and were very pleased they
attended. It truly was a weekend with lots of things to do, in great
spirit and many things to talk and laugh about.
On top of that, we were very happy to have such nice weather during the
weekend to be able to be outdoors in the sun during the days and light a
campfire in the evenings. A great Warmerdam feast.
And reason for a bunch of good memories to take home with you. Even when
family members met each other later on, like I did in the weeks
thereafter, they still spontaneously came back to the reunion as a
shared memory they were very fond of.

As a little memory of this occasion I try to send you the picture we
managed to take with all the family members in it. I wonder how many you
recognize?

Surely it was mentioned, there are thoughts of doing this again in the
future. So, who knows, we might have an other chance to invite you guys
over for an other 'Warmerdam reunion'.

Take care and give my love to all of the Fresno family members,
Ber.
