The Smith's In Amish Country - 1998

Christiana, PA - June 14, 1998



Hosted by Matt & Barb Parfitt



Well, the big day has passed. We went away with new memories, renewed aquaintances, and anticipating our next meeting in the summer of 2001. Some pictures of the reunion day appear on this page. Others can be seen by clicking on the photo pages at the bottom of this page. Bryan and Tish Smith have volunteered to host our next event in or around Gastonia, North Carolina.
Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the....summer!

The Auction fundraiser for Reunion 2001, netted approximately $450. The original artwork by R.E. Parsons brought in $60, and now hangs proudly in the home of George and Leah Micklatcher and Luella Smith in Florida. Thanks to everyone who donated these special items, and to everyone else who kept the bidding competitive. Rafiki found a new home in Michigan and we hope he'll return to North Carolina in three years..

My sister Linda is still working on putting together a Memory Book for Luella Smith. The idea is to fill an empty scrapbook with photos and stories. Please think about including your photos and written stories and memories of the past with Luella. To contribute, just e-mail Barb Parfitt your story, or snail mail copies of photos. We'll make sure they are included.

The last photo on this page is of the descendents of Alvin and Helen (Green) Smith, from left, Larry Smith, Elaine & Pat Dominic, Linda & Bob Smith.

Larry brought his radio-controlled model helicopter to the reunion and gave a marvelous demonstration on the baseball field nearby.


It was nice seeing you in Amish Country!!
