Hell's Angels on Wheels!

No, not really. Corey, Tracy and Squirt (Miranda) decided to take advantage of the great weather I ordered for the Reunion. It wasn't too hot and it wasn't too cold. There was lots of sunshine and no rain.

Joy, Pete and Dave

Joy and Dave Nienow brought Joy's Father Pete Durben to the Reunion. It was good to spend a little time with them. (That's the only advantage to having a smaller group attend the reunion - it gives you more time to spend with each individual.)

Toni and Cindi

Toni brought her three binders full of Durben information for everyone to look at. She puts a lot of work into her hobby. Cindi broke away from the Camp Grounds for a few hours to attend the Reunion.

Mat, Lisa and Ervin Schwoerer

Mat, Lisa and Ervin represented the Schwoerer Family this year at the Reunion. We learned that Mat and Lisa's daughter will be furthering her education this year at UWGB.

Courtney Wallenfang

Poor Courtney showed up at the 2007 Family Reunion shortly after everyone had left. She made the trip from Green Bay right after work and was unable to make it in time. As mentioned in an earlier posting - we were in the process of cleaning up the shelter at the Park in Valders (about a 40-45 minute drive depending on your driving habits).

Doug Joas and Daughter Vicki

Members of the Joas Family showed up for the Reunion.

I had a good time sitting there talking with them and learning a little for about that side of the relation.

I envy them with there house on Lake Winnibago.

2007 Paul & Nora Durben Family Reunion

The 2007 Paul and Nora Durben Family Reunion was held at the Memorial Park in Valders, Wisconsin on Saturday, July 14th.

The John & Dorothy Durben Family was in charge of hosting and setup of the event this year.

Attendance was quite small with only about 20 relatives in total taking time out to participate in the event.

There was a large assortment of food at the "bring a dish to pass" smorgasbord and no one should have an excuse for leaving hungry.

People started to arrive just past 11:00 am and it started to break-up by 3:00. Poor Courtney Wallenfang arrived just after the last guest had left and we were in the process of cleaning up the shelter. She had to work and made the long trip from Green Bay for nothing. Sorry Courtney.

Thanks to all who attended - we had a great time!
