July 1, 2000 The 55th Annual Ruddy Reunion was held in Saratoga Springs, NY. A total of 92 people attended the tradtional reunion hosted by Rob & Jami (LaDuke) Hawthorne, Dan & Mary Kay (LaDuke) Greene, and Brian & Pam LaDuke. As usual there was lots of tasty food, and everyone got caught up from the past year. We had a perfect day -- warm & sunny. Bob Ruddy assisted at the Mass and gave a lovely sermon. We again had everyone introduce themselves because some of the "married-ins" have know idea who belongs to who. The new babies showed up in force this year. Here's who attended their first Ruddy Reunion -- Brady Lafountain (4.1.3.1), Justin LaDuke (5.1.1.3), Alex Bland (5.3.1.1), Russell & Mary Zagrobelny (7.1.5.4 & 5), Kat Musial (7.3.1.1), and Drew Rose (7.4.2.2). Next year's reunion will be hosted by the Dawsons & Thiesens. Since I was one of the "new moms" this year, I didn't take any photos. Please send me some (e-mail or snail mail -- I have a scanner) so I can post them.
