HNA 70th Annual Reunion: Old Saybrook, CT

August 5-7, 2016: We Gather in Old Saybrook for our 70th reunion and to celebrate the 100th Birthday of Virgil Huntley

Early birds — Gathering together with fellow Early Birds is a highlight of the reunion!

Reunion hosts — Many thanks to our wonderful hosts, Trish and Casey!

Historical research — Several Huntleys attended a session at the Old Saybrook Historical Society to research their genealogy

Virgil Declaration — Happy 100th Birthday, Virgil!

Birthday Candles — Here’s to you, Virgil!

Birthday hats — Vintage hats in honor of Virgil’s 100 years!

Virgil and Brayden — It’s easy to guess who the oldest Huntley was! The youngest Huntley was Brayden Carlstrom, great-grandson of Paul Huntley of Meriden, CT. Brayden is the 4th descendant of Paul Huntley to be the youngest at the reunion. His son, William, was the youngest Huntley in Essex in 1951; Paul’s granddaughter Meredith Huntley was the youngest in Centerbrook in 1976; his great-grandson Tyler Carlstrom was the youngest in Old Lyme in 2006.

Carol’s Story — Thank you, Carol Stein, for sharing this special story!

Saturday and Sunday Fun and Friends!

A Tribute to Randy Fuller (April 10, 1953-December 14, 2015)

Randy Fuller contributed to HNA in so many ways. He was President in 1999 and 2000. He was Historian for many years. He assisted Virgil in compiling some of his genealogy books, and he was compiling a history of the Huntley women at the time of his death, a task Virgil described as monumental. He died at his computer working on this task. Beyond what he did, he was a knowledgeable and stabilizing force for HNA. He understood what was best for the organization, and acted on it. His deep commitment to moving HNA forward will be sorely missed. Randy, you will be sorely missed.
