I know, I know. We’re only a few weeks away from the 2006 reunion, and I’m just now posting photos from 2005. Sorry for the delay.

Members of the local chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution at the Johannes Dingler headstone.
Hard to believe but the 2006 reunion is right around the corner. If you’re planning to attend the reunion in Huntsville on July 21 and 22, now is the time to make your hotel reservations. The Hampton Inn still has some rooms remaining, so call 256-830-9400 now and reserve your room!
If you weren’t planning to attend, please reconsider. How can we have a reunion if YOU aren’t there?

Ramona Kennedy loaned a copy of her family’s picture of Henry Dingler, son of Johannes and Nancy Paschall Dingler. This is not the oldest Dingler picture, but it is a portrait of the oldest generation of Dingler that we have. Thank you, Ramona!
