Maine Family Reunions, Been To Yours Yet?

Reunions for Maine families should not be funerals.

One, I am from a big family who cares about each other. Goes thru the ups and downs of life and we are all stuck with each other in a good way. 

I am part of something bigger, stronger that's been around for a while. Has local respect. Lots of talent. Some outlaws. A few pirates too. But they are in, the more colorful of the family and a little less conventional.

Two, the younger kids need to see the habit, tradition and know they are part of something bigger, something special. Family. From all over the country. And three, the older members, the patriarchs and matriarchs serve a special role of instruction, respect, honor and need to know the next generation is not trading them in.

You can learn a boat load of information on life, love, history from any one that has lived 70, 80 and more years of life in Maine.

Reunions? In Maine, anywhere for families, school? Been to yours and are they like giving blood a good habit, one you feel special about? Glad you went. Think about days later?

This is an early black and white of the 1950's cousins.

I'm the little guy on the left with a serious look and holding the black and white Android phone updating the Maine mls listings with a property pull every fifteen minutes. A cousin with a sly look over my right shoulder trying to read the small black and white phone screen it appears. Two brothers Jonathan and Brian in the back row with little hair.

My oldest brother Stephen is the guy with the flippers on the right reminding mom, aunts, uncles, grandparents it has been way way more than a half hour since we ate. Can we pleeeeaase go swimming now? Water sking at nearby Uncle Frank and Charlotte's Nickerson Lake cottage in New Limerick Maine. Maine, haven't forgotten about the importance of family. This year's Benn Family Reunion held at the Hodgdon Maine Fire Department and the home made food..still dreaming about it. Nothing a restaurant puts out for a spread with generations old recipes handed down, passed on like world olympics gold, silver, bronze medals.
