The 2006 Clopton Family Association Reunion was held in Amarillo, Texas,
Thursday, June 22, 2006 through Sunday June 25, 2006. There were a lot of
fun activities for all beginning with the reception Thursday where we made new
acquaintances and made renewed old ones.
We did a lot of hootin’ and hollering,
backslapping and hand shaking. Friday
followed with a delicious real ranch chuck wagon breakfast, and finally a
bar-b-que Friday evening at the Palo Duro canyon.
Saturday evening, we enjoyed dinner followed by the traditional CFA Rose
Ceremony.
The regular business meeting was
conducted Saturday morning where we heard some interesting stories from
folks. Some may even be believable. New officers were elected for the new
term. Our new President is Ross Clopton
(“Boss Ross”). New officers will be
announced in the next newsletter.
The next reunion is set for 2008
in England. Long Melford. Proposed reunion schedule and post reunion
activities were presented by John Rigby and Ed Hawkins, our friends from England. The proposed schedule is for late June to
early July 2008. Details will follow on
this site as the plans are finalized. If
you haven’t been to England,
or even if you have, this is the best way to visit there.. The entire reunion will last about one
week. Post reunion activities are in
addition and begin immediately following the reunion.
Finally, after breakfast and
church services Sunday morning, we “broke camp” and headed back to our homes.
Until the next
