Family Stuff



Matthews Annual Family Reunion is coming soon. The first Sunday before Labor Day (August 31st for those of you who don't have the calendar handy) is the big family day this year. We meet in the Seniors Center in Loretto, TN (N 35° 04.699 W 087° 26.924 for you Geocachers and other GPS users). We meet around 12:00 noon for an afternoon of meeting and greeting, exchanging year long pleasures and events, updating the family tree that stretches across one long wall, sharing good food - stuffing ourselves into an afternoon nap - sharing pictures and taking pictures to share next year. The group picture with the banner was taken at Floyd Matthews reunion site in Pensacola, FL in 1993 and the other two pictures were taken at the senior center in 2001 and 2006 (Uncle Floyd with Margaret Ann Slagle Clark, her grand baby and Helen Matthews). Uncle Floyd was 103 years old at this reunion. He also attended reunion in 1907. He passed away in March after he turned 105 yeas old.
