The Henderson Family Reunion of March 26, 2005

The annual Henderson family reunion was held on March 26, 2005 at the home of Sammy and Carol Hunter Conrad on Keysville Road East in Lithia Florida.  There was a note of sadness this year due to the untimely death of "Uncle Dave". The reunion is held every year closest to the Saturday of the birthday of my fraternal Grandmother, Hattie Louise Fuller Henderson.  The pictures below will show some of the families and the whole gathering.  Aunt Wilma Henderson McGowan did not attend due to some medical problems with her grandson in Alabama.  Aunt Betty Henderson Wunderlich also did not attend because of her personal illness and the death of "Uncle Dave".  Thank you Carol and Sammy for your great hospitality.
