The 2017 Taylor Reunion by Pat Kinsella Herdeg




 Aunt CB and Uncle Jack
 
Julie and Cyndi
 
Saturday was sunny and warm, with just a breeze, the perfect day for a get together of the Clan. More than 40 of our Taylor relatives and friends showed up, and Aunt CB and Uncle Jack stayed for most of the afternoon.

 The Lochners


 Pat and Dan 


So good to see so many of my cousins, as children from each of Lloyd and Ethel’s children came to this year’s event.




Plenty of good food, stories, laughter, and pictures taken.


 Charlie Hawkes Family
 
 Carol Ann and Aunt CB


 Joyce and her daughter, Liz
After our meal, while elderberry pie and birthday cake (for Dan’s Mother-in-law Joyce Lehmann) were being consumed, Aunt CB told the story of how these reunions came into being—forged by she and her siblings after the death of their mother stunned them. She hoped that someone other than she would now take on the project of getting the park reservation, sending out the invitations, etc. Cousin Charlie Lochner offered for next year.
 
Then, Mom once again told the story of the Taylor Flag, as this reunion was the first to have both the original flag and a wonderful reproduction (thank you Jon Maney!).




Nancy Made it from Florida!



A Taylor Reunion to remember—with no rain!
