  The date has been set for next year's reunion.  It will be Saturday, October 3rd, 2009.  We are looking at maybe even a 2-day event where Friday evening would be a meet-n-greet with families (children, grandchildren, etc.) and maybe have hot dogs and/or hamburgers where you just buy what you want.  There would be no program, just a social hour or two.  We have not secured a facility yet but hope to be able to return to Hoofer's for both events.  Send me an email at jerry@dunsonmillvillage.com to let me know what you think.

  I need you guys to spread the word about this site.  The more people we have visiting, the better it gets.  Besides, it gives me something to do.  I also need comments from those of you that are visiting it as to what you would like to see or something done better.  This is not "My Site", it's "Our Site".

Send your birthday to jerry@dunsonmillvillage.com and I will post it to the website for friends to wish you a Happy Birthday.  (See link on left) - Updated 11/18/08.

Still need some updated photos or stories.  Everyone loves the old photos as well as the new ones.  We've had over 12,000 page views during the last 30 days and most of them have been the 2008 Reunion photos and the Photos of the Week - A New Year.  Problem is, I'm not getting photos weekly for the Photos of the Week.  Everyone enjoys these old photos so get em' in!!!!  I'll try to get some new video clips this week as well.
