Good Times at the 2016 Payne-Foster Reunion

 







We had about 45 folks at our October reunion last week.  Although most were from the Buddy and Martha Payne branch of the Dr. I.B. Payne family, there were several descendants each there who came from the Helen Payne Peters and the Braxton Payne branches.  The door prizes ranged from a 2016 reunion quilt, a $50 gift certificate, jars of raw honey, walking sticks, and several other commemorative items.  A beautiful October Saturday and bountiful plate-lunch selections made this reunion a special one for many of us.  We celebrated a few recent birthdays and prayed for several Payne family members who had serious health concerns and missed this year's event.
