In July Betsy and I went to her hometown, Big Stone Gap, Virginia, for a Bruce/Cummings family reunion. Betsy is related to the Bruces and Cummings through her mother.
Betsy knew some of her cousins as a little girl, but she had not seen most of them for years. Of course, there were many other family members that she didn’t know at all. So the reunion gave her a good excuse to go back to Big Stone Gap and the opportunity to get re-acquainted with people she hadn’t seen in years.
Betsy is very interested in family history, as is her cousin Ellen who lives in Cincinnati, Ohio. Betsy and Ellen spent quite a bit of time exchanging information on the Bruce family.
Not only did Betsy get to meet people, we were able to enjoy the beautiful southwest Virginia countryside. We think we live in a beautiful area here on the Plateau, but those mountains around Big Stone Gap are also very beautiful. All in all it was a wonderful weekend.
