Oh Canada! My Family Reunion Part 1 of ?

The Family

Jim, Rhonda, Sarah, Brian, Sheila, Bruce, Me, Larry

After much debating whether or not to go to the first ever "Ray and Norma Leavitt Reunion", my decision was to make the trek to Canada. I am VERY glad that I went. It was a wonderful, wonderful reunion. I had so many experiences and feelings while I was there that it would be impossible for me to relate them all in one blog post. So, (if you are still one of my readers) I've decided not to stress out over it and post different episodes as they "come" to me.

Okay? Okay.

So, I will start off with a long list of everyone in attendance along with my memory of each one. Now, these memories will not be long, rambling paragraphs about each person but, rather, a little snippet that reminds me of each. So....here we go:
