Rockport Reunion 2009 - Beach Days and Lobster Night

Alex Hale came up with the idea for the reunion in Rockport before he knew he would be laid off from his job in Connecticut and living back in Rockport himself.. And it has happened. The Cheney Woodstock generation and their children (with the notable exception of Danny, who is working :<) and their children's children all made the commitment. Everyone has arrived in dribs and drabs but they have all arrived. So far, it is a blast as noted by the pictures below. More to follow.....

The island fortress and the shore city - rather than go to war they signed a treaty,
built a bridge and charged admission to the 'haunted' island fortress.

Lobstah night!

Jason surprised me by being very enthusiastic about seeing me.
His chant is "grandma, grandma, grandma! " He is the best thing for my ego this year.

Actually, he calls you damma,damma,damma, from what I hear him say! I about fell over laughing when E. was telling me how you were saying "He keeps saying the F word, what's that all about" and she had to explain that he was saying FLAG. Ha! Love it! Bonnie
