The Latest Numbers

Pearl Carpenter sent over the latest tally and it looks like quite a crowd of Raddings will be converging on Lakeville CT and the Interlaken Inn the first weekend in August. Here is Pearl's latest count:

Thursday 20 adults, 9 children
Friday 48 adults, 11 children
Saturday 68 adults, 13 children

On top of that, I expect (hope) to see some unannounced daytrippers showing up, probably on Saturday. For people living in New England and New York, Lakeville is within range of a reasonable day trip. You are most welcome even if you are showing up with little or no notice.

Eva and I will be arriving on Thursday evening after hiking to the summit of Mt. Greylock during the day. Our children, Lisa (21) and Amy (18), will be arriving on Friday evening.

Watch this blog (bookmark it in your browser as a favorite place) for the latest news or interesting tidbits received up until I leave for Mt. Greylock. After the reunion I plan to keep the blog up and running with a recap for those who didn't make it to the event. And maybe it will evolve into an on-going discussion among what appears to be a far flung family--something to discuss Sunday morning at the reunion.

Feel welcome to add your own comments to any post. Just click the comments link at the end of each post. (You will be asked for your email address and password--whichever password you choose to give yourself. This is a family reunion blog; it doesn't accept anonymous postings.)

Looking forward to seeing and, in some cases, meeting for the first time all of you.

Alan
