Mike Albin and Susan Watson (first time reunion attendees) were recognized as those travelling the farthest from Greensboro, NC. Pete Souhrada presented an overview of our ancestral roots and tried to connect how all of the reunion attendees are related. He also presented a brief history of how the Souhrada reunions began back in 1981 and how we were reunited with our Czech cousins and homelands in 1990. Pete also reviewed the first Souhrada family reunion in the Czech Republic and encouraged everyone to consider attending the upcoming reunion in the Czech Republic. A delicious buffet dinner was served while family members caught up on events of the past couple of years. After dinner, Dave Souhrada and Paul Flynn conducted the auction of donated items from which the proceeds help defer the costs of our reunions. Reminder: Jiří Souhrada is conducting the 9th Souhrada family reunion in the Czech Republic on September 10th and 11th.
