Last Friday, I had the opportunity to attend the 16th annual Family Reunion Conference -- this time in Philadelphia, PA. It's run by the very capable Dr. Ione Vargas. I had attended a few years ago in Baltimore, but was long overdue! If you're not familiar with it, you might be startled to learn just how large an event it is. Check out this photo from Friday's lunch:
I also got a chance to catch up a bit with my friend, John Logan, whose email updates I greatly appreciate. John manages to stay up to date on a lot of interesting stuff that others don't always catch.
BTW, one of the reasons I was there was to film a few lectures for Roots Television, so be sure to keep an eye out!
