"Lewandowski"

Family Reunion

July 4, 1998

The "Lewandowski Family Reunion" held July 4, 1998 was a huge success.

There were 76 family members present, they traveled from California, Texas, Boston, Massachusetts as well as Ann Arbor, Battle Creek, Jackson and Grand Haven, Michigan.

The oldest person present was Stella (Lewandowski) Plucienik age 82, and the youngest was Tate Peterson (son of John and Rachel Peterson) at 3 months old.

Families represented were the Nash’s, Plucienik’s, Nusbaum’s, Kidman’s, Lawrence’s and Winter’s. If all descendants were present we counted there would be 125.

Steve Kidman is working on our "Family Genealogy". He distributed books of the information he has so far. He also obtained more information and several promised to send him dates and complete address. You can E-Mail Steve any time at stephenkidmansr@usa.net. He would greatly appreciate your information. He has stated he would send anyone who wants the book, if you did not get one at the reunion. You can also call Steve at 616-782-8592 or send your requests to his mailing address, 58375 M-62, Cassopolis, Michigan 49031.

Several family members took pictures and videos of the group. Each family group picture was taken, as was the total group picture. Lynne Lawrence took the pictures and you can contact her on the Internet at lynne48@yahoo.com, or by phone 616-782-8705. Her address is 29700 Priest St., Dowagiac, Michigan 49047. If you would like a picture of your group or of the whole group. Also if you have any pictures you would like to share, please send the negatives to Mary Lawrence, 119 Cross St., Dowagiac, Michigan 49047 and I will have pictures made for who ever wants them.

We sincerely hope everyone who attended had a good time. It was great to see members of the family we haven’t seen for a long time. We also met several new members and were happy they attended.

A big "THANK YOU" to Tom, Lynne and Sara Lawrence for the huge task of having the reunion for us, a lot of planning and preparation went into making it a success.

Also a big "THANK YOU" to all who made the special effort to attend and making it a very successful reunion!
