Alumni Picnic/Reunion
Welcome Home, We Love You!

For some, the Reunion is an annual event.  For others, it is their first venture back to a place that may have been a mixed blessing for them.   All first-timers to the Reunion want to see "their room", the place that was their home for years. 

 "These people are my brothers and sisters", said Vestal Caldwell.  Vestal came from London, Ohio, to attend the Reunion.  He is one of the three well-known Caldwell brothers.   The other members of the gang are his brothers Cecil and Robert. The brothers are famous for their adventuresome stay at the Home.    "We had a great time here!  But we also worked hard.  We had cows, pigs, and chickens we had to tend to.  We each had chores to do.  We also raised wheat and tended a garden.  Even the littlest child worked." 

At the reunion, the Home's entire archive of photos is available for Alumni to review.  They can request copies of as many of the photos as they would like.  The home copies each photo and mails it to the Alumnus.

If you know of an Alumnus that may not be on our Alumni List, please get this information to them and have them call us at 828-686-3451.
