Hazletts and scores of surnames such as Brown, Deats, > Kemp, Merritt, Owlett, Rice,
Seely, Tubbs, Van Dusen, and many more. > Please bring a covered dish to share, your

There will be a Cloos Reunion Aug 24, but there are fewer > notices than usual for this

family tree. In the last 10 days > I've added 800 individuals and 230 marriages ---
almost all of them > Campbells, and most from the more recent generations. Quality is

"Campbells of Nelson, PA & Related Luggs & Blackwells" family > tree
now contains 11,194 individuals and 4,857 marriages. A fair number > of the attendees
at our reunions are descendants of all three of those > surnames. I would guess that at

that portion is one > half, it still leaves a lot of Campbells.> > Stay tuned for
more updates and help spread the word to your relatives > and acquaintances who may be
interested in coming to our reunion. > Please plan to bring some memorabilia if you
can.> > And, let me know if you have a poem, song, reminiscence, etc. that could

> our cousins that departed since our last reunion.> > >

Regretfully,I don't believe that Gloria and I will be attending this year's

Other commitments prevail. Bob Kelley
