 Descendants of the Baron -
Eggleton family gathered recently
for their bi-annual Family Reunion
in Jacksonville, Florida. Relatives
from around the country came
together for a weekend of fellow-
ship and remembrance in honor of
their forefathers.
Hosted locally by Rita (Eggleton)
Perry and Sylvia (Eggleton) Perry,
the two day weekend was high-
lighted with informal gatherings,
shopping ventures, family volley-
ball tournaments and of course
Jacksonville's wonderful beaches.
 The Reunion's primary activity
was a Family Fun Day at the Perry
home which was met with tumul-
tuous weather. Despite the
unplanned intrusion by mother
nature, family members and close
friends enjoyed the food, fellow-
ship and fun popularized by the
annual gathering.
 The evening, which extended into


the wee hours of the morning,
began with a prayer and included
swimming, card playing, billiards,
fishing and reminiscing amongst
new and old friends. Also on dis-
play was a family photo album with
clippings about family matriarchs
from the early 1900s. It concluded
with moonlight fishing.
 "It was just so relaxing to sit by
the pool and talk about old times,
and the Volleyball was awesome."
said Walter Baron of Tampa, FL.
"The Eggletons and Barons would
be so proud of this tradition. I know
every year we get together they're
all with us smiling down on us and
enjoying it as much as we are."
 Family members included trav-
elers from Los Angeles, CA,
Washington D.C., Virginia Beach,
Virginia, Charlotte, N.C., Tampa,
FL, Atlanta, GA and beyond. The
next location is a toss up between
Myrtle Beach, SC and Tampa, FL.


Every year, more people come to the same place for their family reunion.


Family reunions are meant for catching up with uncles,

aunts, cousins and Big Mama, not for running all over town.

Especially when you can get everything at one place:

Publix. Where shopping is a pleasure.
