Dear Descendant of William and Maria Elizabeth (Mamie) Bartelme Schultz
After chatting with some other family members, we thought it would be fun to have a family reunion of the descendants of Bill & Mamie. So we’re wondering about your level of interest in such a gathering.
Since we had to start somewhere, we are considering a 5-day cruise out of Florida during the Summer of 2006. A travel agent has estimated that the cost including all food but excluding airfare, liquor and gambling would be some where in the following area:
Inside cabin: About $550 (accommodates up to 4 persons)
Outside cabin: About $650 (accommodates up to 4 persons)
This pricing assumes a summer trip on one of the major lines, which have all kinds of activities, (e.g. gambling, rock wall climbing, entertainment, etc) to meet the interests of all age groups and to accommodate school schedules. It also assumes starting to make solid plans around the beginning of 2005.
So we put together the enclosed questionnaire to see what you think of this idea. We would appreciate you completing the enclosed questionnaire and returning it by October 15, 2004 to:
Mary Kay Schultz
1 South 235 Ardmore Avenue
Villa Park, IL 60181
(630) 261-1112
or
Sincerely,
Mary Kay
(Granddaughter of Bill and Mamie)
P. S. I have been working on our family tree for several years, which currently has over 1350 persons and spans 14 generations. The earliest ancestor tracked to date was born about 1647. As you might tell, I’m kind of into this family tree stuff---it is really pretty huge now—the whole print out is a couple of hundred of pages. I’m happy to provide info for those interested. So if you’re interested in some info, just let me know.
