A friend of my wife sent this little newspaper article to her. I wish I had known about it as I would have gone to the reunion. We all knew about Grand-Père Francois of course and had big reunions when I was growing up. Still do sometimes. The last one I went to, about 10 years ago, was for the decendents of Francois' son Benjamin who bought 300 acres in central MN in about 1875. Around 300 of us showed up for it.

My relatives are all around me and keep an eye on things. Our little road is still called Frog Alley.
