At the 1985 reunion, each family unit was asked to donate $1.00 to help pay the costs of the family newsletters for the 1986 reunion. We have had an unexpected park fee of $50.00 but felt it was worth it because of the shade, tables, barbecues, and park facilities available. Donations have been received ranging from $1.00 to 20.00.

Eileen & Wade Quigley in the Mission Field

Letter dated January 1986: We are keeping busy with our missionary work. The Branch here is very small, only 73 members. Wade has just finished organizing a Cub Scout den and a Scout troop of which many of the boys are from the community. The Florida Keys is a change in scenery from their Idaho farm. They live midway in the Keys about 50 miles out in the ocean. The island is about 5 miles long and very beautiful, warm and humid. They get lots of ocean breezes & rain squalls. In November they had to evacuate for 24 hours because of Hurricane Kate. That surely was a different experience, but interesting and awesome to see. Eileen goes on to say that they are looking forward to the next family reunion and sincerely hope that they will be able to attend. Their youngest daughter, Patricia, is expecting a baby near the 10^th. Hopefully, they will be able to fit them both in. (We hope you can too!)

We want to see you all at the reunion! If you are not able to come, please drop us a line so we can put it in the next newsletter!!! We want to hear from you!

There were so many new addresses that we put together a new address list. Please be sure to send us any address changes or corrections.

1986 Reunion Remembered

July 26, 1986, dawned a beautiful, warm Southern California day. At 10 a.m., 34 adults and 32 kids descended upon Yorba Regional Park for the great 2^nd annual Heaps Family Reunion.

Each one of the 66 people present made it a special occasion. We would also like to give a special thanks to several people. Erma and Rosalind organized the affair. Erma also provided many ceramic items she’d made as prizes for the games. Fred & Doris held a horseshoe tournament and they also organized a square dancing session for everyone. Buddy Maury provided equipment for a bowling game.

Several families participated by presenting skits, singing, and reading poetry.

Because there were ample cement slabs all around the tables, many of the kids roller skated their way into a frenzy during the day.

Thanks to all for making it a great day of friendshiping and feasting!
