The Murphy family reunion will once again be held at the Parkersburg city park, Parkersburg, W. Va. on Sunday, June 8, 2014.
This year our emphasis will be upon family heritage and history, and family geneology charts and books will be available for view.
Last year's reunion honored WWII Veteran Ray Murphy, and included a presentation by WWII vet Clem Dowler in honor of Ray.
Unfortunately, Ray is no longer with us but his spirit lingers on, and we have invited Clem to return for another presentation of his experiences, and to discuss his book with us. He will also be offering the invocation for our reunion meal.
Once again, we are looking for a great turnout of Murphys, Murphy relatives, or just Murphy friends and acquaintances.
Everyone should bring a covered dish, eating utensils, a chair, and maybe something to drink.
There will be door prizes and gifts as memorabilia of this great event.
If you have any questions, you can contact me at jerroldmurphy@casinternet.net, or by phone at 304-295-6113.
My mailing address is 1215 20th St.
Vienna, W.VA. 26105 should you wish to communicate by mail.
One important item of business that needs to be handled this year is determination of a new chairman for the reunion in coming years.
So give it some thought and hopefully, decide to volunteer to take it on.
Also, having started the family tree project, i would like to see a family heritage committed created with at least four people volunteering to work together and expand on what has bee started, and to create a much more comprehensive history of our broad based family an extended family.
So give that some thought.\
i will look forward to seeing you on Sunday, June 8, 2014 in Parkersburg, W.Va.
Jerrold Murphy
