Dorothy and Leighton Wiant just returned from a 3000-mile trip through New England, Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island, visiting relatives in New England and enjoying the seafood and beautiful coastline of Nova Scotia. The Wiants met sister Betty Dean Kroft and husband from California in Halifax, Nova Scotia, joining them on their journey.

Arriving home in Marion, the Wiants hosted an extended Dean Family reunion on August 24. They entertained 50 relatives from California, Colorado, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, etc. Leighton provided a tractor/wagon hayride around the farm to see the woods, crops and barn, while Dorothy set up carnival games in the barn for all the kids, little and big.

All relatives trace their roots to the Wiant/Dean farm, originating from the five Dean brothers, Art, Earl, Ivan, George and Morris. The weekend brought lots of fun and noise and little or no organization.
