In the early summer of 2015 my mom, sister and I went to a family reunion in Huntsville Alabama. This was the second family reunion that I had been. I was happy to go and see my family that I had never seen or heard about. Who knew that I had family in the state of Alabama? On the way there I kind of wonder what they were like. After driving miles and hours we finally made it to Alabama. My mom rented a hotel room for three days. The hotel had a 15ft indoor swimming pool, there is also an outdoor dining area on top of the roof. The chef will cook you anything you desire in front of you while you are waiting.

The times that we did have at the family reunion was great. It’s always good to see Family, they bring out the best and sometimes worst in people.

    I interviewed my seventy-five year old grandpa Donnie, researched the Voyles lineage book that my grandma Arlene helped compile, and talked with my dad in order to find out more about my family’s history.

    After the fight that Jeannette’s mom and dad had. The mom got up with the kids and applied for a job at the Battle Mountain Intermediate School and was hired on the spot because she had a teaching degree.
