------------------
Now for any of you who would like to attend but can not, I will have
my broadband wireless with me.  What that means is that you can talk
to anyone at the reunion and see them.  You need broadband internet
access on your computer.  A microphone.  A headset.   A camera. All
connected to your computer.  Then you need to download a free version
of Skype from skype.com  If you plan to do this, set it up a few
months in advance so you can test skyping me.

Or to talk to someone at the reunion on the phone, let me have your
phone number and who you want to talk to.  I will have my cell phone
with me which has free long distance on the weekends.  I will call you
when the person you want to talk to is standing next to me, then hand
them the phone.

Original invite.

Background.
======================

When I was a boy, we would have a Sjolander-Quall picnic every 4th of
July at the park in Onalaska WI.  I remember never being sure of the
connection between the Sjolanders and the Qualls.  The last picnic I
can remember attending was in 1958.  Joyce Quall Urban and I have been
emailing back and forth for the last 15 years, so it is time to have a
reunion of the union of C. A. Sjolander and Karen Quall from 1874.

We look forward to seeing as many of you as can make it.




And since July 26 is almost July 28 which is my 66th birthday, the only presents I want are old photos so I can take pictures of them.

Send me email addresses for your kids and grand kids so I can add them
to this notice list.

I will keep you posted on who has said they will be there.

Also feel free to email me old and current photos.
