Sauder Reunion

Our Last Reunion for Summer/Fall of 2012

Saturday Evening, September 29

 

Those who keep records think this is the 50th Sauder Reunion. Some of the older ones thought it may even be more.

 

 

 

 

Cerwin’s youngest sister, Doris, and her husband, Bob, (from Minnesota) could not be here for Mother’s 95th Birthday Party a few weeks ago. Since I took pictures of Mother with each of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren who attended the party, I wanted a photo of Bob and Doris with her.

There was lots of visiting with cousins, aunts, uncles, and other relatives before supper.

Getting together for prayer before the meal.

 

 

 

 

Cerwin’s cousin Larry Newswanger led us in a song before prayer. He is surrounded by cousins John Martin and Ray Sauder who keep this reunion going.

 

 

The food table looked inviting.

I like this picture of Cerwin and Uncle Amos. Amos was his hunting partner on Cerwin’s first deer hunt. Cerwin was fifteen and shot an eleven-point buck – the largest in his hunting career, so far.

 

 

I think this is a good picture of Uncle John and Aunt Bertha. John is ninety-six and Bertha ninety-five.
