I’m trying to figure out if we will have enough space for all the craziness that will go down at this Reunion.  The Johnson Reunion 2012 is rounding into shape; there is a general outline of the weekend that will be sent out by mail soon. It’s a chance to be memorable and we are hoping all ages can participate in every activity and create memories as a group.

Sonja is organizing some activities for Saturday night after a catered dinner.  Conrad will host a history trivia contest, all Johnson facts.  It can be a family joke (I know you all have one), special location or place with family history, certain years where something big happened or remembering certain people.

Example “Who read the tea leaves and foretold futures”   Violet   “What year did the cream boat run from Bay End to Steep Rock” Not really sure, check your Patience, Pride and Progress for that story “How many families actually lived in Larkspur in the 1940’s?” Anyone?

we found this hot little diddy...someone composed a family song!

I suggest you read Patience, Pride and Progress and the other histories, ask your family about information, we want everyone to have suggestions or something that surprised you. There are lots of stories about the 13 Johnson children, many have been written in various histories and told and retold at parties but we have less about the other generations, of the people who are descendants of this great family. 

Anyone can send information, “facts,” whether jokes, locations, years, children.  Send them to Sonja at her email sonjal@mymts.net.  She is a little swamped with figuring out her iPad but she will put together the ideas.

 On Sunday, everyone can have fun with skits and a role playing charade game.  There were some pictures posted by Steina Wakefield Erlendson on the Facebook group page and there is good one, a skit at Olive and Violet’s 90^th Birthday party.  It shows the twins over their life with Kyla, Dayna, Erin and Ella dressed as the twins at different ages.  Hilarious.
