Holiday Social 2007
Saturday, December 1st, 2007Hindsight is 20/20. Our Holiday Social 2007 was scheduled for the same day, November 18th, as the Stamford Balloon Parade. Well, if you cannot beat ‘em, join ‘em, so, I (with my daughter, father, and son) at least enjoyed the parade before our Social.
While we scheduled our start time to follow the parade, traffic was a challenge, but several members persevered and we had a grand time at the Ferguson Library.
Nora Galvin, Bob Ferry and Rick Roof (above) listen to stories from Lloyd Sturges,
from Shirley Jessup,
from Nan Crowthers,
and others. We all got a chance to share some of our favorite stories of our ancestors in a little genealogical “show-and-tell”. I think we all had a grand time.
To finish up at Ferguson, we celebrated Fred Hart’s election as a Fellow of the American Society of Genealogists with cake.
The party could not end there, so we went out to dinner to continue the festivities and honor both Fred and Norma.
It is such a privilege for me to be able to learn from Fred and all the wonderful people that make Connecticut Ancestry Society a fun place to be. I cannot wait for our next meeting….
