The Prawl Family Blog is Back!

It’s been nearly a year since I managed to break the software, but finally I figured out a way to restore it, and now it’s back! Thank goodness for backup files, because I had to simply delete it and start over with a new installation to make it work. Meanwhile, lots has been going on. Phil and I bought a house in St. Joe and then went south for the winter, but since we returned in May we’ve been hard at work getting it fixed up. But as well as housework, with some help from a few family members I’ve been making corrections and additions to the Prawl family tree in my database, and with just a little more work it will be ready for distribution.

So, should we try to get organized and start thinking about a family reunion next summer? If we do it right, it could take a few months to let everyone know and make plans for what to do. Last year when we met at TIm’s it was really great, and a wonderful place for a family gathering. We will be in town for at least a few more weeks, so give us a call (to make sure we’re around) and come see us! Phil’s old 321 phone number still works, and may be the best way to reach us.

See you soon!

In case you’ve been wondering why I’ve been so slow about posting pictures, the family tree chart, etc. from the family reunion here, I’ve got a link to show you about one thing that got in the way of that. This is a video of the panel discussion I participated in late in August in Chicago. Of course, we also recently bought a house in St. Joseph, and are in the (very slow) process of getting moved in, which is taking more time away from more desk-bound activities like editing slideshows. There’s more about that on my personal blog, so if you’re interested, surf on over to have a look. Y’all come see us in our new house! We actually have some chairs there now, so you don’t have to sit on the floor.

Activities at 2007 Reunion

This just in from Naomi:

I just talked to Tim and he said there was a paddle boat and fishing if anyone was interested and I think I already mentioned the pool if anyone wants to swim. Could you put that on the web page. We are having the dinner at the screen house down by the pond. Tim said he could set up horseshoes. I think we already have potluck at 1:00 listed. Have you guys thought of any fun stuff? But, I don’t know how many kids will be there, probably not many? Ideas for anything different?

Naomi sent me this from Dennis a few days ago, but I didn’t have a chance to post it because of network issues, then travel:

I spoke to Pauline Prawl. She is the wife of William L Prawl, whom is the son of William F Prawl. She said they will not be able to attend the reunion as William F is in real bad physical condition & they have to be around all the time. They all live in the Sacramento area. If June Prawl has a Prawl web site, they would like to have it. They can be reached at [N.B. address suppressed -- if you want the address, email or call Kat or Naomi].

Reunion Dinner Plans

Naomi suggests a potluck dinner at 1:00 on June 23rd. Tim asks that people bring folding chairs as well as edibles.

Who are these people?
