Dover, NH

2023 had the family originally scheduled to gather in Charlotte, NC..  That changed when we received the great news that John Maloney had proposed to Jessica, and she accepted!  Our reunion planning coordinator quickly pumped the planning brakes and made a quick U-Turn and headed to Dover, NH.  The Reunion followed the wedding that was being held in Exeter, NH. Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday morning we were all in Wedding Celebration mode. Pre-wedding visit to the Exeter Historical Society. The wedding was beautiful, the Bride was beautiful, the mother of the Groom (Pat) was beautiful, everyone was beautiful.....Jim, he was handsome!  Wonderful reception at Jessica's relatives MILA by The White Apron.  Sunday afternoon the troupe headed to the designated reunion hotel the Homewood Suites in Dover, NH.  Lenore prepared a wonderful schedule of events for us. Monday was our picnic day held at Four Tree Island in Portsmith, NH.  We had a Fun time, good conversations, The Parade of Hourses with the Kids followed by horse racing, Group and Family pictures. Tuesday was the Portsmith Harbor Cruise which was enjoyed by many.  Wednesday we visited the Woodmen Museum in Dover for a dose of local history.
