27th Extended Ruell Family Vacation Bailey Island, Maine July 2008

Ruell Family 2008We had another GREAT family reunion this year. Blessed with near perfect Maine weather, we were 28 people at the max - the newest of newcomers to the family reunion was Zoe Danielle Ellen Himmelstein, Mary’s granddaughter from Toulouse, France. Other highlights this week included Mama Mary still leading the way at age 92, visits back to Popham beach, where it all got started in 1981 at the Popham beech cottages and camping park, and the Papa Joe Memorial golf outing at Sabasco resort. Congrats to the”first born” organizing committee - Morgan, Lilly, Jesse and Emily - for a great job in locating us on Bailey Island!

See you all at Christmas!
