Looking for Regina Criswell

Scott Ladewig — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 00:19:23 +0000

The newsletter we mailed to Regina Criswell in Hogansville, Georgia, was returned. If anyone out there has an address for Regina, please let us know at info@dingler-family.org. Thanks.

Thank You, Mary & Thomas Klaasen

Thank you Mary & Thomas! Mary and Thomas Klaasen are the first to make a donation, outside of our reunion dinner meeting, to help cover our costs to distribute the newsletter.

In the newsletter we asked those people who receive the newsletter but aren’t able to attend the reunion to consider making a small donation to help cover the costs of producing and mailing the newsletter. All you have to do is click the Donate button on the right side of the page and you can easily and quickly make a donation. Every little bit helps!

Looking for Audrey Colvin

Audrey Colvin, are you out there? The newsletter we mailed to Audrey came back as unable to forward. So if anyone out there has an address for Audrey Colvin of Taylor, Arkansas, please let us know.

Spring 2007 Newsletter: Personal Update from Terry

Scott Ladewig — Thu, 17 May 2007 03:59:14 +0000

I apologize for the brief newsletter. Surgery for prostate cancer and the subsequent rehab have limited my extracurricular activities this spring. I am doing just fine now, though, and look forward to seeing everyone in July.

Spring 2007 Newsletter: Technology and Dingler Family Communications

Scott Ladewig — Thu, 17 May 2007 03:56:08 +0000

The Dingler family reunions are now in their 28th year. There have been many changes since Martha, Margaret, Edith and I first met in 1979, not the least of which has been the advance in technology. When I published the Dingler book in 1983, I typed the proofs on a small Olivetti typewriter. Today I am in the slow process of transferring that data (as well as much later research) into my laptop, with the eventual aim of linking it all on our web site. So please continue to visit and submit information to the Dingler Family History web page (http://www.dingler-family.org/).

I am also attempting to transition from regular mail to email for the newsletters. This year, I will be forwarding the newsletter by regular mail to 260 people and by email to 75 recipients. I would like to reverse those ratios. If you receive this letter by email, you will probably not receive a hard copy in the mail. If you receive this newsletter by mail, yet also use email, please forward your email address to me at tcowan@jcowaninc.com. If you know of family members who should be receiving the newsletter, then forward their email addresses, as well. As long as we continue to put out the newsletter, there will remain some copies sent by regular mail. But with stamps now at 41 cents (probably even higher by this time next year), it only makes sense to keep our regular mailings to a minimum.

Spring 2007 Newsletter: Billy Dingler 1928-2006 & Elorene Denney

Scott Ladewig — Thu, 17 May 2007 03:47:16 +0000

We were saddened to hear of the death of Bill Dingler of North Carolina back in December. Bill was an integral part of these reunions from the very beginning. He is responsible for most of the North Carolina research for the Dingler book, as well as locating the wonderful pictures we used from that branch of the family. Our sympathies go out to Paula and the rest of the family. Obituaries can be found at these links:

Mooresville Tribune
Statesville Record & Landmark
Charlotte Observer

We were also informed of the death of Elorene Denney. We extend our sympathies to Clarence and their family, as well.

Spring 2007 Newsletter: 2006 Reunion Report

Scott Ladewig — Thu, 17 May 2007 03:44:02 +0000

A total of 59 attended the 2006 reunion in Huntsville, AL. This was our first time in this city, and while numbers were down somewhat, everyone certainly seemed to enjoy the gathering. Huntsville itself is a very pleasant city and the Hampton Inn facilities were excellent.
