Walt(Dena’s husband): I have enjoyed this very much, It seems to be a very cooperative group, well organized; everyone is agreeable, there is no dissatisfaction. It brings back past memories, pleasant memories and associations. What I feel is just plain satisfaction and enjoyment. We are very thankful that all can be here and all seem to enjoy the blessings of good health and fellowship.

John (Andy’s son): The main thing I notice is the basic warmth and concern and goodness of everyone in the family; secondly, that this closeness has survived in spite of rather fantastic geographical separation. Driving up here, I was apprehensive, Part of my apprehension was because I am here to represent my father, and I had sensed that they missed him very much. But I quickly became very comfortable. The Vogels,I would say, have objectivity and at the same time a real respect for the old family values. They cam talk about their grandfather’s values with respect and objectively. I think this family allows for a lot of divergence.

Virginia (Andy’s daughter-in-law): I think the idea of having a reunion is good. As we get older we tend to search out our roots. I’m still a bit confused as to whose children are whose. But everyone is very compatible. I think it’s fine that we made this effort to get together, especially since John has only one sister. Also, I’ve been surprised our son is as comfortable here as he is, because he doesn’t know any of these people either. I enjoyed talking with Helen; I hadn’t known her before. Everyone has made us feel comfortable. And a lot of credit is due to Harry and Lefty and everyone who helped.

John Andrew (Andy’s grandson): All of a sudden I feel like I am part of the Vogel family; I never did before, even though my name is the same as that of the father of this whole group. I used to be more proud of my middle name, but now I am more proud of my last name, It’s amazing how quickly you can form friendships and get along with people you haven’t seen in fifteen years. I’ve enjoyed it; it’s a good end to the school year.
