Dear Family and Friends,

As you know, last year we were unable to meet due to COVID.  We had been going full blast preparing for this year’s reunion when the pandemic grew worse again.  After careful consideration we are planning to still meet again, but things will be different. Continue reading →

Dear Family and Friends,

Normally I would be writing a letter to invite you all to the Thompson and Allied Families’ annual Homecoming/Reunion.  But these aren’t normal times.

For the first time in 63 years our Big Day has been cancelled.  Something called Covid-19 got in the way, just as it has touched practically everything in our society.  This was probably the hardest decision ever made by our Board of Directors but it seems like there was no alternative.  Right now would you really want to be at a gathering of people from all around, especially if you’re a senior citizen as many of our attendees are?  Rest assured, we will continue with the Foundation’s work this year and look forward to a very happy re-gathering next year on the first Sunday in October.   We hope all of our family members are doing well and staying safe.

Perhaps you are wondering why you have not gotten a follow-up email.  Unfortunately, our Brunswick home was flooded by Irma.  Repairs have meant we have been living in an apartment for two months.  We are exhausted by the packing, cleaning and so forth. Continue reading →
