EVENT: Benson Reunion July 24, 1994
This is an annual event, held at Ontario County Park, on top of Gannet Hill in South Bristol. It was a nice day for a picnic and an afternoon of conversations with relatives seen once a year. Anyone who is not attending this event is missing out on something. I highly recommend it. I know that in my time there have been no shootings or duels at this event.

A graduation party was held at the home of Burr and Vivian Cook on September 11, 1994.
No Burr did not graduate from anything yet. Carolyn, daughter of Burr Jr. graduated in the
fall as she needed to take one summer school course to complete her High School requirements.
Carolyn is currently Working at Hammets School Supplies.
The party was attended by Ed, Vicci and family, Peg from Orleans, My children, Jim,
Butch (Burr), Stephanie and Christine and all of my Grandchildren and some of their
children.
I had one tricky moment when little Dylan asked me if I have balls. I brought out a baseball and
a tennis ball that the cats play with and that seemed to be what he was referring to.
