Eason Reunion |
|
|
|
As Curtis &
Carolyn Weeks Loftin were driving to the 2015 Eason Reunion, they took
a few minutes to drive by
Al &
Viola Eason Weeks' home on 201 East Aycock Street in
Raleigh, NC. The Weeks family home still looks loved and
cared-for. |
|
|
|
Shannon & Elaine Huntley hosted the event at their home (the
former home of
James Carolyn Eason & Coneta Earl Daniels) in Garner, NC.
There were family members represented from each of John Bryant
and Ida's children except for the children of Welton and Hazel
(who live out of state). The time for the event was from
12:00 to 6:00 p.m. |

The original plan was to be outside, but
because of the heat, almost everyone stayed indoors |
There were a few, however, who decided to
brave the heat - especially the children |
