Our Family Reunions

Since 1983, we have generally tried to get together as a family every other year. We have usually gathered during the last week of July in the Holland, Michigan area for camping, swiming, hiking, spirited debates and fabulous evening meals. At the end of each reunion, we have a tradition of naming the reunion after some important event or theme of the week. We also have a family reunion banner which we all sign. Listed below are the reunions which we have held so far:
