The 86th Ford family reunion was held at the Macedon Gravino Park. A bit on the cool side after temperatures in the high 80s. Fifty-one family members were present. Cousins, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, dads and moms were joined together for family time, grilled meat and lots of good food. There were potato, macaroni, tossed and bean salads; beans, Jell-O, and of course, cake for the birthday folks.

The White Pigeon

Howard and Loretta Bartlett had a visitor, who seemed to be looking for a new home. Each day this beautiful white pigeon returned. The Bartletts noticed the band on its leg and after trapping it in the garage, made many phone calls, following up on the band information. They ended the adventure by sending their pigeon friend to its home in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
