About Me
| John J. Howell |
| Cayce, Sc |
| I spent my younger days listening to my mother's recollections of her growing up on the land now Ft. Jackson. I remembered many of these stories but like most young people my interest was not the same as it is today. Mother was born in 1900 and was a wealth of information. One day I wondered if there were other people like me who may have interest in rekindling the past of our ancestors. I thought perhaps a reunion would be in order. Our first reunion in 2008 drew 100 people with the 2009 bringing 138. Never would I have ever thought there would be this kind of interest. My wishes are for this reunion to continue so that future descendants will be able to know about and appreciate our ancestors of long ago. |
