Some of us at the 2007 Reunion

Marilyn Hahn, Alan and Clair remembering with the old photos. They are the #5, 4 and 3 children of John & June Baker. Marilyn rode down from her home in Bristol, Connecticut with her husband, Robert and son David (her #1). Alan came up from Gladstone, Mo. and Clair from Ney, Ohio.

Darel Gene Baker (#4 of the Alan Baker kids) ~ He and his wife, Jennifer and step-daughter Jordan, drove up from Smithville, Missouri. Gene is a Sales Rep for Zep Manufacturing. He and Jenn spend as many weekends as possible at the Lake of the Ozarks fishing and are famous for their annual Anniversary Fish Fry. Their 10th is coming up. Congratulations Gene & Jenn!

Tom Pryslak and son Nick looking over an old photo album. Tom is Cathy's (#3 of Edgar Lavern's kids) husband. Tom is retired but still doing lots of contract work.




Jodie (Gene's #1) examines her camera while, Andy Max (Alana's #3) looks on. Jodie and Curt drove up from Gladstone, Missouri with her three kids, Olyvia, Zane and baby Isabella. She is currently busy planning their autumn wedding. Curt is an electrician... and master fire handler, as we all witnessed!


Brady Alan (Penni's #3) visits with his grandmother, JoAnne (Alan's wife). JoAnne still lives in Gladstone, Missouri and works at Oakwood Manor Elementary School as an office clerk.

Brady goes to Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa majoring in Computer Science. He's plays soccer for the Raiders and is an RA at the infamous Heemstra Hall. He is also a guitarist for the Iowa Thunderchiefs.

Arts & Crafts

Aunt Marilyn planned the Arts & Crafts and there was something fo
r all ages and abilities. She even had those noncrafty people interested in one of her projects.














There were remembrance Bookmarks, beautiful Hanging Prayer Beads, lovely Ornaments & fun Friendship Bracelets. It was a time for fun and comradery.
Thank you, Aunt Marilyn!

The 2007 Baker Reunion

Friday, July 27 ~ Sunday, July 29, 2007

The 2007 Baker Reunion took place at the fabulous Somerset Beach Campground in Somerset, Michigan. Bonnie & Bert Freeman rented 2 lodges and took care of all the arrangements, planned the meals & bought the food and basically had all the planning-type headaches. Huge KUDOS to them!

Thanks to all of you who planned the following activities: Golf Tournament (Terry), Family Olympics (Penni & Coleman), the Family Feud Game & Talent Show (Alana & ), a Worship service (Terry & Uncle Clair), Crafts (Aunt Marilyn+)

Many of us also took advantage of the camp’s Horseback Riding & Beach. There were card games, Scrabble and lots of just vistiting and catching up by all.

Folks came from the states of Florida, Oklahoma, Missouri, Nebraska, Connecticut, Michigan and Ohio. Were there more?

Please leave your comments & if you are interested in being a contributor, just let me know!

I love all of you! Hugges and Kisses,

~Penni
