On August 16, 2009, the Hapeman clan in Western New York got together at the park in Elma, NY for a little reunion. It was a beautiful sunny day. We all brought dishes to pass.
Whoever made the baked beans - I want your recipe! And the chili - I need that recipe, too! :D
Here is how the genealogy part of this works. Edward and Laura Hapeman each had children from prior marriages (Edward had 4, and Laura had 3), and then they married and had ten more. My grandmother, Mildred, was the only girl of the ten. One of Grandma Mildred's brothers was named Gerald, and the group above are of Gerald's descendents. Not everyone was able to make it, but we sure had a good time, and I hope we can do this again soon!
