(By Gerald Holland) This year I- realized that nearly everyone out of a big family of Eckerts, which is my mother's side of the house; had moved out of this area so I decided to ask all my first cou- sins to attend. My father -had only one sister, there were only . fleet cousins from his side of the house from one family. He was Matt Murray of Salex, Iowa, a brother of Jack Murray of. McKillop and he married my mother's sister, s o 'this family is doubly related to me and now very dwindled in numbers. Unfortunately they phoned to say they couldn't make it this year as they were leaving on a Euro- pean Tour, but would certainly reserve this day next year to be • here,' "-- Ali a the Cod Eckert Sr. family from McKillop, Detroit, etc. were here and all of 'Fred Eckert's family were here as well as all of Pete Eckert's family from Northern Ontario, DUBLIN Annual Reunion Attracts Holland Gaffney Familys New York and various other places in U.S.A. and Canada.

Of the Hollands, only one ne- phew Joe Holland and his wife from Winnipeg failed to make it. A niece and her laughter from Vancouver made it but her hus- band had to work. Mrs. J. J. Holland was taken to Hospita.• 1 two ,days prior to the reunion and her only regret was that she was going to miss the party. All her children from London, Kitchener, Torento, Seaforth, however, were here. Because of the large crowd the games for the children were confined to races and ball games and prizes were cameras, bill- folds, dolls and jewelry. Each of the 125 children ofd the 3rd generation received coin mint sets, 4 to $1.00 and other re- latives received souveniers from many choices. My oldest living sister, Mrs. Flynn was 'present so there was actually 100% turnout from I the Holland side of the house.
