Dederick reunion held

The Dederick reunion #33 was held on July 22, 2018, at the Dederick Christian Church hall with 32 people in attendance. The oldest veteran was AB Spencer. He held the flag while the Pledge of Allegiance was recited. Ben Vickers led the group in signing the National anthem. Richard Watkins said the meal blessing and a wonderful lunch was enjoyed by all.

After the meal, Tim Bartkoski shared news of some who couldn’t be with us. Tim asked the group “Who do you think of when you think of Dederick?”

Randy and Cathy Cauthon traveled the farthest – from Phoenix, and Lura Lee Eslinger was the only one with perfect attendance.
