HADLEY REUNION UPDATE

As I write this newsletter, 86 people have notified me they are planning on attending the reunion. How great! Some people think we may have over 100 people attending. One thing for sure is that many of us have never met. One of the first things you will be asked to do upon your arrival is to print your name in LARGE letters on the name tag we will provide. I suspect I will be needing to look at your name tag as I talk with you and I hope you will feel free to look at my name tag and the name tags of others as you meet and talk with them.

We are still in need of help. We think a workshop on "Religion in Colonial New England" would be of interest. We need a coordinator to pull together the details for that workshop. If you have the interest in doing so, please contact Jim at:

Some Other things to do:

You will be visiting a very historic area where there are lots of things to see and do besides enjoying the many beaches and summertime activities. We have listed only a few website with recommendations for things to see and do. www.salem.org/ . The Peabody Essex Museum in Salem http://pem.org/homepage/index.php is an excellent place to visit. In addition, the National Parks Service has an entire building in the middle of Salem devoted to the historical significance of the area and their free film should not be missed. http://home.nps.gov/applications/state/ma/travel_info.cfm?AlphaCode=SAMA#Destination_

3 of 4



6:30-7:00: Birthday Party for our George: We think George was born about 1614+/- and came to "The New World " about 1628 at the age of 14+/-. Since we have yet to find proof of his birth date, we are declaring, for this year, July 17th to be his birth day. This will then be his 395th birthday and deserving of a party. Besides having a large birthday cake, we may have games and other surprises. We have been able to recruit Brad and brother Guy Hadley to entertain us again with their singing and guitars.



7:00-7:45: Presentation on the life in Salem Village in the 17th century ---- Jim McAllister, Salem, MA



8:00-8:30: Optional DVD/Computer sight & sound travel presentation (Tentative)



Over the past dozen years, Anita and Jim Hadley have traveled to over 100 different countries throughout the world and have lived in China for 6 months. They have traveled from Timbuktu to Katmandu and from Madagascar to Katmai in Alaska. Some folks have asked to see some of their pictures - tentative plans suggest this may be your opportunity if you are so interested.
