Edward Jefferson [EJ] Bentley family reunion canceled

For the first time in probably over 50 years, the EJ Bentley descendants are not having a family reunion.

EJ Bentley had 8 children, and they would get together every summer in Texas, swap stories, eat good food, and play 42 with dominoes.

Now, we are scattered around a lot, the families are getting older, and we just don't seem to have the time together any longer.

What a shame in a way, but it is not really that surprising any more.

Hopefully we will be in TX ourselves next year, and can get together with the rest of the cousins & their kids. It might not be at the heart of Texas Baptist Encampment, but surely somewhere.

It really is the beginning of the end of an era in our familie history & geneology.
