The Mabrey 2003 Reunion is history. The hosts hope everyone had a great time. Look here shortly MORE for photographs.

Please send your scanned photos to Frank at frank@mabrey.com.

We know there are plenty of photos out there because every time we turned around we saw some variation of this:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

There were car crashs, fences flattened, not-very-lost keys with a chorus line, run-away motorhomes, tanking tractors, and bucking horses under screaming kids.

There were great-grandchild show-offs, in-laws and out-laws, Krispy Kreme eating pets, sh*t shovelers, transvestite license plate swappers, furry-faced sofa hogs, and jewelry junkies. There were more grey-haired people than you could shake a cane at, and their parents were there too! And how come Little Frank is still Little Frank when he's bigger than Big Frank?

There were boxing matches with real boxes, new adoptions, and drumming to beat the band. There were smores and campfire songs, ghost stories, and a canine music stand. The who-is-sleeping-with-whom-in-what-bed negotiations went on so long that the sleepers just slept where they dropped.

Those taken hostage by the airline in Las Vegas were released so they could tell tales of their car wreck. The kitchen coup on Sunday was peaceful and the regime change went smoothly. Two attendees, each weighing over 900 pounds, had to be hauled in a trailer. Believe it or not but neither was anybody's uncle!

All this and we still haven't gotten to what happened when people started drinking!

There was laughter. There were tears. There were hugs and there were steers (well calves anyway).

There was also this thing Cathy bought at Saturday Market that no one could begin to describe. As good citizens we reported her to the airport authorities. She may be released by the next reunion, if it isn't too soon.

Here's a hug for all who came:
