Thanks to Steve Reiss (California) for forwarding his photos from the 2009 reunion which have now been posted on the Reiss homepage! Anyone else? The more the merrier!

Also, does anyone have any scans of the 1984 reunion? Would love to start a file on those as well!

Thanks!

Help us build our family website!

Hello, all! Once again I wanted to invite you to visit our new family website at http://sites.google.com/site/reissfamilysite/ . The site is very much a work-in-progress and we hope to be able to add a lot of information to it in the future.

We are looking for your assistance in helping the site grow. Anyone who took pictures at the reunion last weekend, please feel free to forward them to reiss1834@gmail.com . Identify them if possible and we will get them posted. If you already have your own online photo gallery and would like to share the link, please forward that. The same goes with any video of the reunion that is available!

Also feel free to forward any historical photos or current family photos that you have!

I am also looking for a copy of the group photo that was taken at the reunion so I can put that on the site. If you have a good copy, please forward it.

We've also started a little family blog that you can see here on the site so any news that you would ever like to share, please forward that and I will get it posted as well.

I am working on building an email distribution list so if you have not previously received this note via email, please forward your email address to reiss1834@gmail.com

Lastly - any suggestions - please forward them to me!

Thank you!!

delete parts of clips.
