REUNION SOUVENIR SALES

This year we shall have canvass tote bags at the reunion with the family logo. Each bag will be five dollars. One hundred of them will be on hand. We could not get the shirts and hats this year at a marketable price. We have decided to put that project on hold.

HELP! WE NEED YOUR COPY ON TIME

LOVELL FULBRIGHT'S PUBLICATIONS

Lovell Fulbright has a rich memory of Fulbright information from the John line in southwest Missouri. He first gave us Soldier train! Soldier Train!, and he has now written The Fulbrights An Exclusively American Family. He wrote the second book with Jim Fulbright, his son. Both books will be available at the Springfield, Missouri Reunion as will the publications of Ed Stout, family genealogist. Don't miss either author's material. Both men have indicated their willingness to turn over any profit from their publications to the family association.

HELP WRITE A PRESENTATION

We are looking for Fulbright tales, yarns, stories, and anecdotes. These stories are the ones that are passed from generation to generation. They give an unforgettable color to any family's history, and we Fulbrights have never been short of that! An example of such a story is from James McClure who mentions from time to time his grandfather's escape from Vicksburg in the Civil War. It was dramatic, and we cannot write more here. After all, why give away Jim's story before the reunion?

We need your stories to put together for "Fulbright Yarns, Tales, Stories and Lies (Well, maybe just truth stretching.)" Whatever you call your stories, write them down and send them to the Fulbright Family Association at the address that is printed on the bottom of page one of this newsletter. We are serious. We want your material.
