This post is intended for every member of the Roger Holt family. So listen up!
It's high time we all got together. Everyone! All of Roger's kids. And their kids, and their grandkids, and even their great-grandkids. If I do the math right, that's 38 people.
The question is: Where do we get together? I thought about somewhere in the middle: halfway between Truth or Consesequences, NM, and Fredericksburg, VA. A quick glance at a map puts that somewhere between Little Rock, AR, and Memphis, TN. Ann Holt even suggested on a beach somewhere. Any suggestions?
The next question: When?
Since the reunion would require some driving, flying or hitching, I was thinking that it should last at least two days, and maybe as many as four. Dad has said he wouldn't be able to go until July and he would have to go back to work in the middle of August.
If you have any ideas, please post them in Comments so everyone can see them and discuss.

We need to find a middle spot. Someplace we have never been.
Kansas City? St Louis?
I will look for more. Tell everyone to post here
Hmmmm, my only criteria is that it have a brew pub!!!!
Mom said, "The Bulls moved from Baltimore to points south, mainly Tennessee, can't remember right now the town or county. Then moved to Hood County, Texas, (a small town near Granbury, that I cannot remember the name of). Our branch then moved to Bangs in Brown County. Believe it or not, the Holts moved from Tennessee, then to Arkansas, to Hood County, Texas, (between Lipan and Granbury)."
So maybe we could look somewhere along those lines, too.
I second that motion!

Sounds good to us. Summer 08' would be the best for the Turner's of NM. I like the sound of someplace we have never been before. Speaking of Tennese what about Dollywood, :) of Branson Missori? That way there will be other things to do for the kiddos. Maybe Florida, a little far for us but it might be worth it. Where is the Sea World up north? Just throwing stuff out there. Hope all is well Love y'all :)Les
Hey Jeff I want a cute little picture by name. How'd you do that? :)Les
Dollywood, eh? Personally, I like Tennessee, but I hadn't considered Gatlinburg.
Florida's good too. I think Sea World is in Orlando with Disney World. Hmm. Another nice idea.
And to get the cool photo, you have to have a blogger account.
Ann Holt sent me the following suggestions:
"Plans for a reunion in 08 makes sense for all of us with regard to planning. School is a factor in scheduling a date, I'm sure. I like all the suggestions submitted so far. Florida with Disney and Sea World would be a good choice for families with children--lots to do. Florida is unbearably hot in the summer--when we were there once in July, the plastic body on Steve's tape recorder melted in the car. Tickets to Disney and Sea World are pricey but cover everything except food.
"Never been to Dollywood or Branson but hear both are nice. On the coast, there's also Mobile, Alabama and Hilton Head, SC. All are getting a little far for the NM folks. I know you guys want to travel some, but it's hard to beat a city like San Antonio--atmosphere, good food, history, and some resort stuff."
While I wouldn't object to the reunion being here in Texas, or even here in Fredericksburg, which puts everyone an hour from Sea World and Fiesta Texas, would that be fair to the East Coast Holts?
But, there is a place called Runnymede that would accomodate 26 people. It has a pool, a meeting area, and is close to the Golf Course, for the big kids, and town for the other big kids. Check out runnymedecountryinn.com and see what you think.
Discuss.
