Ringgold county reunion was held in Texas

The Ringgold county reunion was held Friday, Feb. 1, at Ann's Restaurant in San Juan, TX. The count was down this year but there has been lots of sickness in the valley.

Those attending this year were Theron and Marilyn JOHNSON of Delphos; Eileen MASON, Mary WILLIAMSON, Paul McKINNEY, Janice JOHNSON (MO), Glen JOHNSON, Francis and Marilyn PRITCHETT, Kenneth and Karolyn (SMITH) HERREN, Ed and Gay HIGHTSHOE, Rose JAMES and Irene AYERS, all of Mount Ayr; Frieda INGRAM of Ames, Muriel (Pee Wee) WARD and Lloyd and Kay DRAKE of Tingley; Hiatt and Darlene RICE, Jim and Donella COOK, Myrtle COOK BALLUE nd Alan and Kay OSHEL (formerly Diagonal and Creston) of Creston; Art and Carol HAYS of Council Bluffs; Jack and Marlene GROSE of Des Moines; Pat KOONZ of Prole; Quentin and Rita ANDERSON of Sun Valley Lake; Twila PERLENINE SIMONS of Waukee; Ron and Janis LOOMIS of Kellerton; Bessie AUSTIN, Marion and Sharon PRICE (formerly of Diagonal) and Gayle and Linda SAMMONS of Diagonal; Wade and Elaine WIESE of Ellston; Harry and Joyce SCHRADER of Burlington; Carnie and Joyce ANDERSON of Lake City, AR, and Bonnie BAKER of Clearfield.

It was a great reunion and Lloyd and Kay DRAKE were hosts again this year. They have done a great job for several years and have turned it over to Ron and Janis LOOMIS for next year.

It was a very good reunion and is always sad when some cannot make it who usually do. It changes every year.

The reunion will be held same place next year on the first Friday in February. Hope all come back and bring friends. They want to keep Ringgold county remembered well as it is a wonderful place to be from.
