Vikings, we are a long way from it.

Our family has been in a race, the race to live and conquer the world, this time without all the raping and pillaging.  We have changed from the Vikings into who we are now.  We’ve followed different currents but a reunion brings us closer, tightens the roots of the family tree

It’s fun to remember our common starting point, where we come from.   We are going to be celebrating the widening sphere of the Johnson family from the Westlake area, the family tree of Steini and Margaret Johnson.  It’s fun to think back about them and see what they have started and how much we have changed.  It’s a chance to celebrate those differences now and not stay rooted in the past. 

Think about it, 21 people are named Johnson on the Reunion Facebook page, but ¾ have different last names.  None of us need to change our last names on Facebook to be funny or stop people from finding us, we are individuals and proud of our names.

It’s a chance to meet with other success stories in our family, possibly develop mentors from family members who do what you want to do.  The reunion is a good time to come together, to remember where we come from and give us strength and support as we continue life.
