June 24, 2023 at Stony Creek Metro Park in Detroit, Michigan
The Reunion Committee consisted of five hardy souls from the oldest living generation (yes, we’re old), and included (back row) Mick Anderson,
Ray Koenig, Don Koenig, (front row) Barb Murphy Newton, and Karen Koenig.
Barb had returned from Paris the day before and wanted the committee to be identifiable to all attendees. Note: The boys did not wear their berets for long.! The committee worked tirelessly from about February until June to ready the plans for our 2023 reunion. It was a beautiful summer day – we could not have asked for better weather! Committee members sincerely hope that everyone who came had a memorable and enjoyable time!
Here they are again, a bit worn out from all this thinking and doing!
These Murphy Reunions have been going on for quite some time. This is a sign for the 1959 reunion. There have been at least three at Stony Creek. We certainly hope there will be another reunion by 2028!
