Reunion 2010 in Mobile July 16-18

Author: Scott Ladewig

For 2010 we’re moving the reunion back to its traditional 3rd weekend in July, so mark your calendars for July 16-18. We appreciate everyone’s flexibility in changing things last year to accomodate some conflicting events.

And where will we be? Well, if you read the post title, you know where we’re going… Mobile, Alabama! This will be our second time in Mobile, but the first time in 19 years. I’ll post in the next day or so with more information about Mobile.

We’re still working on details for our hotel and dinner meeting lcoation and hope to be able to announce something soon.

The First Virtual Dingler Reunion

Author: Scott Ladewig

Since I couldn’t make it to the Dingler Reunion this year, I’m connected to the meeting room at the hotel using Skype. Not the same as being there, but is definitely the next best thing.

Anyway, take a look at photos from our 2008 reunion in Jackson, Missippi.

News about Mary Clyde McDaniel Johnson

Author: Scott Ladewig

Linda Hunt asked me to pass this info along:

Please pray for one of the Henry line descendants, Mary Clyde McDaniel Johnson, who has cancer of the pancreas and liver. She is one of the great-granddaughters of Susan Francis Dingler Gregg. Her grandmother, Mary Jane Gregg McDaniel, and my grandmother, Elizabeth Amelia Ann Gregg Owens Cook, were sisters. Her brother, who wants to come [to the reunion], but probably will not because of Mary Clyde, is called Billy Mac. They are close in age and very close in their lives. They live close together. She is about the sweetest woman that I know. And the most giving. When her first cousin was dying of cancer, she took her into her home and cared for her until she died.

New Look for Dingler Web Site

Author: Scott Ladewig

The Dingler web site has a new look and feel! I took advantage of the move to a new software platform (moved from Movable Type to WordPress in case you’re curious) and went hunting for a new theme. This one seemed to be a good fit for the family history aspect of the site. Enjoy!

The newsletter for Spring 2009 is finally ready! A bit later than normal (and a lot later than we had wanted), but the important thing is it is out before the reunion!

Dingler Family Newsletter – Spring 2009 (You will need Adobe Reader to view the newsletter.)

Over the next few days we’ll post the various stories individually on the web site.
