Dear Family Member:  

As we approach the 2020 reunion, it is once again time to make preparations to publish our Family History Booklet. Over the years, we have added new members to the book. However, we often forget to update or correct information about family members that are already in the book. Here is your chance to update, correct, or even add family members to the upcoming book. The charge for this year’s book is $10.00.

Direct your inquiries/information to:
Mr. Ted Staples – Family Historian
16801 SW 108 Avenue
Miami, FL33157

teddyque@bellsouth.net

If you have any question regarding the book or its contents drop me a line. If you would like to have your information updated in this year’s book the deadline is May 1, 2020.

If you need a form to make corrections or add new family members contact Ted Staples at the address/email above.
