We had a great time out at Matt & Jan Hayles' for our first Mordecai reunion! Here is a pic from cousin Nancy in Florida who brought us all together!
(From left to right) Linda Hanson, Janice Hayles, Suzy Cole, Nancy McConnell, Danny Mordecai, Janet Evans, and Ed Shannon. 
Sheryl Marabotti and her husband are in this second photo - they had to leave before the group shot.
Linda, Janice, Suzy, Nancy and Danny are all siblings, and grandchildren of Ben Mordecai. Ed is the grandson of Hazel Mordecai. Sheryl is the greatgranddaughter of Frank Mordecai. Janet is the greatgranddaughter of Gertrude Mordecai.
Ben Mordecai, Hazel Mordecai, Frank Mordecai and Gertrude Moredecai were all children of Ben & Tillie Mordecai.
We all spent time reviewing the family tree and sharing info and stories. Ed told me he remembers his Aunt Gertie from his father's funeral when he was a small boy. Linda said she remembers visiting Gertie in the city when she was young.
Here we are sitting around the table reviewing our large family tree!
It was great to meet everyone and share info and I can't wait for the next reunion! I have to believe that all our grandparents and greatgrandparents and so on were looking down on us, amazed that so many Mordecai descendants found each other! Chief Whitecloud himself should be proud! :)
