“Success is getting what you want and happiness is wanting what you get.” Ibo proverb*
The next gathering of the Harris and Stafford Families will be on Sunday, May 5, 2013. Correction: Momma Elsie invited relatives, friends and neighbors to her home for her birthday, April 27th, long before 1948. Someone should inform us of how the first Sunday of May became a tradition for our fellowship. The one thing she always wanted us to bring was our love for one another. Make plans to attend our fellowship reunion, especially Sunday, to meet and greet our elders like we did when Mama Elsie lovingly looked upon us in the crowd of relatives and friends.
