It was a great Huff reunion that we had on Saturday! We really enjoyed meeting and reconnecting with each other and forming new relationships. We also want to say a special welcome to first-time attendees Anne Huff and her daughter, Katie --we're so glad that you came and look forward to seeing you again next year!
Several kudos go out to our President, Pope Huff, Jr. who provided his fantastic leadership and looked out for us and kept us straight! Our Vice President , Ben Stansberry, led the auction and comically regaled us with how the auction items could be used and had us laughing. And Denise McCloud, our Sectetary/Treasurer, continues to give us wonderful support every year and helped us to stay on track with the minutes and numbers. We raised well over $750 at this year's auction. A portion of the proceeds will go towards purchase of new chairs for the Hebron Community Center.
We also took time to remember and honor James Huff who died this May. James is a direct descendant of Julius Lycurgus Huff. His wife is Marilyn Huff and his children are Dr. Melanie Huff Hubbard and Dr. Jim Huff. James was a beloved family member by all who was faithfully involved in the Huff reunion every year. His daughter, Melanie (who is currently on mission in China) had a special dedication for her family in honor of her father, which was read by Janet Huff. James' presence could surely be felt by all and we will deeply miss him.
We also remembered Charlotte Huff Taylor who died in May. She is a direct descendant of Grover Cleveland Huff. Her husband who preceded her in death was Louis Taylor. Charlotte lived in Pratt, Kansas.
Due to the weather, we were unable to make the trip to the Huff Cemetery where Thomas Jefferson Huff, his first wife, Sarah, their son, George Hardaway Huff, and several others are buried due to the difficulty with traversing the wood trail in the rain. We hope that the weather will cooperate next year as it is a very interesting and worthwhile cemetery to visit.
Ben Stansberry will transition to the President role for the 2014 reunion. We elected Dave Huff as our Vice President. Denise will serve again as our Secretary/Treasurer.
We missed previous reunion attendees who were unable to make it this year, and we hope to see you again at the next reunion. If you have not been to the reunion, please join us! It is a pleasurable opportunity to meet and get to know family members from both short and long distances so we can nurture family relationships and continue to keep the Huff reunion going!
