20-26SEP09 - Sprucewoods, MB

After Sunday at Clear Lake we returned to Ed & Elaine’s house to continue slowly working on our projects; prepare for our departure; and so Corrie could attend a reunion of the “1960s Brandon Girls”. Turns out one Donna Hogeland took it upon herself about six years ago to organize a gathering of any and all girls that attended any of the Brandon High Schools during the 1960s. Corrie attended the first such gathering in 2003.

Since Dan had already decided to attend his 35th CG Academy reunion in Connecticut, that meant we could easily travel eastward from Seattle to New London, passing through Brandon, MB, for the gathering. Donna scheduled an action packed, fun filled, three evenings on Thurs, Fri & Sat nights (24-26SEP). Dan has no idea what exactly went on because males were not allowed to attend, but apparently there was Mennonite Elvis in the house?

Sunday morning, 27SEP, it will be time to say goodbye to the Canadian side of the family; head back to the USA and Dan’s reunion 09OCT in New London, CT.
