A Last SPECIAL AWARD and Thank You

THANK YOU ALL!!!

We'd like to thank all who followed and especially all who submitted to help us make this virtually  the best McGraw Reunion we could have given the circumstances. If you liked what we did, we hope you comment on the posts or you can drop us an email to mcgrawreunion@gmail.com   We'd love to be able to provide feedback to those who took the time to send in submissions.

We hope that we can all gather together next year in person at Southern WV Community and Technical College in Saulsville. Our relatives have been keeping this tradition alive for 67 years and you have helped to make sure it continues on through difficult times. John & Mahala's children and grandchildren lived through the influenza outbreaks of 1917-1919 and became our grandparents and great-grandparents. Hopefully someday out great-grandchildren will carry this tradition into it's next century. All of that starts with you continuing to have an interest in your family and your history and instilling that same interest in your children and grandchildren. Sometimes we don't realize all the things we want to know until there is nobody left to tell you about them.

To that end, one person went above and beyond to help us provide you with your yearly dose of family lore and he is always most generous in helping us with our Memorial Service.

Thank You to Herk McGraw!

Herk is going to get a 2020 Virtual McGraw Reunion T-Shirt!

Thanks everyone and we'll see you next year for the
68th Annual McGraw Family Reunion!

(Good Lord willin' and the crick don't rise!)

As part of our normal tradition, we pass the hat to cover expenses and the cost of prizes and our website. There is no minimum and this is purely a voluntary donation. If you would like to contribute, you may do so by sending a check payable to the McGraw Reunion Association to:
