My wife deserves all the credit. She tightened her jaw and decided that there would be an Andrews reunion. I think the closest thing to a family reunion was Thanksgiving at the City Club with Myrna in the late 1970's. So a special thank you to the love of my life.
Shelby's rationale was that the Andrews clan was a fun group. There is always joking. There is always laughter. Getting together would be enjoyable. She was right. I think everyone who came to the Sheboygan Deland Home on Saturday had a good time.
It is amazing how many Bucky/Alice descendants attended the clambake. My count says that 29 people enjoyed chicken, mashed potatoes & gravy (it went in a hurry), biscuits, grapes and stuff. Bucky/Alice really didn't understand what they were starting.

Our collective prayer session summoned the "Rain Gods" to start a 3 day steady rain that hasn't ended yet. Amazing what the power of many can do.
Thank You all for making the day very special. If I left anyone off my list it was inadvertent. Let me know and I'll correct the list.
There are lots of pictures.
Love,
Chuck
