FIRST VOGEL REUNION--June, 1982

Who were they?
That maniac who brought his boat roaring full throttle in to the dock…
The man who yanked the refrigerator out of a rented trailer…
The lady who kept the entire camp awake most of the night…
The uncle who fed ashes and pebbles to baby birds…
The young woman who leaped into the lake when she had to go to the bathroom…
And the baffled psychologist who observed all of this and shook his head sadly…

They were Vogels..

And why not? It was the Vogel family reunion.

The idea for the reunion had been born long ago: It had simmered slowly, been warmed in the round-robin letters that circulated among the brothers and sisters. Tentative suggestions had become firmer suggestions; the idea grew steadily past the dream stage, and finally became realty.

The reunion took place June 9, 10, and 11, 1982, at Brouwer Park, near Grand Rapids, Michigan. The 200- acre park, four miles west of Stanwood on the Muskegon River, has many sandy beaches, 8000 feet of river frontage, 230 modern campsites with water and electrical hookups, a boat ramp and many other recreational facilities. Trailers had been rented for those who didn’t bring their own Rvs. It was a delightful setting for a delightful occasion, and everything came off smoothly-- thanks to the hard work and planning of Left and Betty, Harry and Betty, and Trudy and Fletch. The Grand Rapids Vogels had made all arrangements, attended to all details, had even arranged for interesting weather--a bit of rain, cool invigorating breezes, and one absolutely perfect day of sunshine.
