Hi list,

be interested. I know there descendants in these areas!

Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)

P.S. Please pass this on to others who may be interested! :)

The Boone Society, Inc. Reunion July 31-August 4, 2002

Wilsonville, Oregon (near Portland)

Plans (now only seven months ahead) are as follows:


WEDNESDAY, JULY 31__Registration and check in. Evening barbecue
and entertainment at Boone’s Ferry Park


THURSDAY, AUGUST 1__ Dr. Jim Tompkins, Oregon History Instructor
at Clackamas Community College, will be our tour guide for a bus trip
on the Columbia River Gorge portion of the Oregon Trail. We will stop
at Multnomah Falls, around Mt. Hood, and will have lunch at Timberline
Lodge at the base of the mountain. We will then travel west down
Laurel Hill where wagons, oxen, horses and emigrants were lowered
by rope. Prior to 1846, travel to the Willamette Valley was by the
Columbia River, a treacherous and dangerous route. Some of Jim
Tompkins’ ancestors came this way.


_After dinner, there will be an evening program at which we will
be honored by the presence of William Cannon, the only Revolutionary
War soldier buried in Oregon. William is portrayed by Tom Laidlaw
(actor, writer, historian and master storyteller) who holds a BS Degree
in Theater Arts from Portland State University. Tom has been a
volunteer blacksmith and interpreter at Ft. Vancouver, WA for five years.


FRIDAY, AUGUST 2 __A day trip to the Oregon Coast (Boone Island and
Boone Point, etc.) where Daniel's great grandson, George Luther Boone
(the great grandfather of two of the Reunion Committee members),
settled on Yaquina Bay after coming to Oregon in 1848. The return route
will be via one of the Boone Homesteads, Salem (the state capitol)
and several Boone Historical markers.


_After dinner, Rochelle Cochran will present a program for historian
Ken Kamper detailing his work with the Daniel Boone and Frontier
Families Association, the many Boone sites in Missouri and efforts to
protect and preserve Boone history and locations.


SATURDAY, AUGUST 3__A Morning tour of the Oregon Trail Interpretive
Center in Oregon City.


__The Boone Society Annual Meeting will be held after lunch.

__The Reunion Banquet and special entertainment will be In the evening.
