The Cowey/Cowie Reunion






I am totally overwhelmed. Thank you all, on behalf of Nancy, Francis, Grey, and myself, for attending this first Cowey/Cowie Reunion. We were flying by the seat of our pants, never having organized an event like this before. One of the most frequent comments I've heard has been, "I wish so and so could have been here". Let's hope they were all looking in somehow.






If anyone has photos that they would like to post on this website, scan and email them to me, or to Nancy, and we'll post them. I was so busy trying to meet and talk to as many people as I could, I only took about 8 photos!!






What I would appreciate receiving at this point are family stories. I am interested in what our ancestors did for a living, etc. My ultimate goal is to complete a book I'm in the process of writing and make it available to everyone.






For your information, Nancy tells me that 102 people were at our Reunion. Amazing. We are now waiting for the Colborne Chronicle newspaper.
