From Gail Brooker Meiners

I thought you would like to see we still have a Brooker in my family. This is "Brooker" James. He is my younger son's Brian) boy. Brooker is now 14 months old. Sofia, his sister is 4 years old. I was very touched when they named him Brooker.

A Very Big Thank You

We had such a wonderful time at the Brooker Family Reunion. It was absolutely wonderful to see Gary and Nancy again. The four of us did so much together while they lived in Ankeny. Great memories!

Leo's family went to a lot of work preparing for the event - thank you, thank you. It was a huge success. The breakfast, snacks and dinner were absolutely delicious.
The picture tribute to the Brooker Family was very enjoyable. Dick wonders who had the picture of him with the fox.

Throughout the week I get to thinking about the story of the police car and the popcorn stand - what a sight that must have been. Funny!

Leo - thanks again for organizing this event.

Thank You!


Thank you to Leo and Keri for hosting the Brooker reunion!

Thank you to everyone that traveled so far to be there!

It was SO MUCH fun to see everyone!

Anyone wanting prints of these photos or any other photos can get them directly from Webshots. It is easy to do and the quality is good. Also inexpensive. I recently ordered pictures from them. I ordered 17 pictures including 3 or 4 5x7's and it was less than $10 with S & H.

Comments

From Barb B:
I tend to forget about the comments so I am sure others do as well. When someone leaves a comment about a picture or post, a number will appear after the tiny word 'comment'. I believe it is under the post. Could be wrong about that but try to remember to see if anyone has made a comment. I know, one more thing to remember! wink, wink.

Ridge Family




















I am sad we won't get to make it to the reunion. It sounds like so much fun! I thought I would at least post some pictures, so you all could see us at least. The first picture is Brittany, our 20 year old. Then Gerald (Cindy's husband) and our son Mitch after a 10 K run. The next is taken at Mitch's wedding 4 years ago. Last is Tawny our 18 year old with her new Christmas puppy 1 1/2 years ago. We won't be able to make it because we closed our construction business & now Cindy has a new job, so it won't work out to take a vacation right now.

Messages from Attendees

From Pam Brooker:
Our Amanda won't be able to make the reunion as she started a full time job this week. We are all very disappointed.
We are visiting Pam's family Friday so won't arrive until Sat morning at your place. We are staying at Pam's brother in Waukee so won't be staying the night Sat. We must head back for PA on Sunday.

See you Sat

From Bradley Brooker:
Hi Brookers!
The Bradley Brooker family (Brad, Mary, Ben and Audrey), are finalizing
plans for this weeks' trip to Iowa! We are planning to arrive Friday
and return to KC on Saturday afternoon due to a prior commitment
Saturday evening...What are the plans for Friday pm and Saturday
morning, and how can we connect with the most Brookers? We have enjoyed
seeing photos of our family on the "Blog" and look forward to getting to
know cousins.
Thank you so much for organizing!
Mary and Brad and kids
