Events of the June 25, 2005 reunion that was held at Corcoran Park, Corcoran, Minnesota.

About 175 people, including children, attended the reunion. Folks came from California, Washington, Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado, North Dakota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Virginia and Mississippi.

The weather was perfect with lower humidity and some cloud cover. It was about 84 degrees in the afternoon.

People started showing up at 8:30 in the morning offering to volunteer. There were so many good folks that helped. What a great bonding experience for the family.

Lunch was served at noon.

About 1:30 there were pictures taken of the group.

At 2:00, we had a program. Johnny Halone was the MC and sang a song in Finn. Then, a member from each of Otto Herrala's children's family gave a short talk on their memories. Each little talk was interesting, with a wide range of topics.

The last of the crowd left about 7:00 in the evening.

Thanks so much to all of you for helping make this reunion such a success.

The original manual also had photos, however to include them in this PDF file would take too long for folks to download.
