Hello everyone!

It's that time of year again and I hope everyone is planning on attending the annual reunion, which is Saturday, June 8, 2024 at 11:00 AM at the homestead, 7633 East Emory Road, Corryton, TN 37721. As usual, it will be a covered dish with drinks and utensils provided in our spacious pavilion. Due to parking, in case of rain we will meet at Clapp's Chapel United Methodist Church, which is 400 feet east of the cabin. Come enjoy seeing old friends and relatives and meeting new ones. We will have live string music and an interesting speaker. If you would like info on side trips while you're in Tennessee, give Joe Longmire a call at 865-898-9097.

We will have reprints of Nicholas Gibbs and His Descendants (1733-1977) available for $50 plus $6 postage if you need it to be mailed. Remember to bring updates from your family such as births, marriages and deaths that have happened since 1977.

With the help and generosity of the Emory Road Chapter of the DAR, we have applied for a grant for repairs and rechinking of the logs on the west end of the cabin.

Our new treasurer is Gail Lay. Gail’s address is 6109 McGinnis Road, Corryton, TN 37721-3606. Your membership is what keeps this organization afloat and the cabin in good repair, and now is the time to renew. Individual membership is $25 and family is $40. Any additional contribution is appreciated.

See you in June! Everyone is welcome!

Best regards,

Joe Longmire, President
