1903
to 2003, the Reunion celebrating 100 years in
Canada is now history. Gerwings, 430 of them, came
from near & far including Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba,
Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon, California, Minnesota, New Jersey, Connecticut and
1 person from Germany.
EVERYONE
had a great time, renewing acquaintances, making
new ones, visiting, singing, telling the family
stories, worshiping, sight seeing, and of course
eating. Hats off to Connie Gerwing & Alphonse
Gerwing & their organizing committee for their
foresight in organizing the event as well as for
the long hours of hard work that was needed to
make it such a success. The people of the
community of Lake Lenore were gracious hosts. |
