Crook-Elrod 2013 Reunion is in the books!!!

Hey there!  The reunion was a great success again this year and so much fun with the Elrod Cousins joining in on the festivities!!  I managed to collect contact info on most everyone in attendance!  I have posted the reunion pics on the Facebook Page and will see what I can do to post them elsewhere so that I can attach them to our blog the way Amanda and Dan did.  In the meantime if you got any pics that you wouldn't mind sharing let me know so we can add them to the rest!!  Jessie and I will be looking into the possibilities of having our next reunion in Texas!  We will be getting info out to you all as soon as we can get a semi workable plan in place.  With 2 years to plan and save for a reunion vacation we are hoping maybe you all will be able to attend.  Remember this is your family blog and the Facebook page is yours as well, feel free to comment and make post!!!  Much love to you all - Jackie Lynn

Reunion 2013

Hey there !! The date is set (Saturday, August 3rd) and the planning has begun for this years reunion.  Aunt Grace is our hostess this year and has decided to have the reunion at my Daddy's house.  Anyone needing directions?  If so let me know and I'll make sure you have them.  I have been doing a lot of research on our family tree and am excited to share what I have found out.  I am trying to update everyone's family pages and information so be looking forward to hearing from me in the next few weeks to get your info.  I would like to collect pictures to add to all of your pages as well so please be on the look out for the following.  I would love to have a baby pic from all the cousins, as well as a current pic of each of you.  I would like a wedding photo from each of you with your spouses or at least one from when you were dating. If possible can I get a military pic from the following:  Daddy, Corrie, Wayne, John, George & Chris?  Please and thank you !! I am very excited to make it this year since we haven't been since 2003.

Hello out there!

Just wanted to take a few minutes to send out a big Texas hello to everyone. For all who are in the facebook reunion group I posted the pics of the last reunion that I have gotten so far. Thanks Amanda and Dad for emailing me what you had. Would love to post all that I can get. I am working now on how to post them here. I am a little challenged on the best way to do it so I may need to call Amanda for direction again. I also, posted some pics of the gravestones for grandparents that Daddy, Jessie, Corrie and I went and visited back in April. It was a wonderful day and felt so special to visit four generations of grandparents. Add Daddy, Me and Jessie to that and seven generations of Crooks were gathered for the day. AMAZING!! I am adding to and working on the family tree so don't be surprised if I email you for updated info. Well, I love you all and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Love,

Jackie Lynn
