Reunions

For simplicity, this site counts the 1913 Reunion as the 1st Reunion and increments by 1 for each year therafter regardless of whether or not a reunion was held. The reunion numbers may therefore vary slightly from the number reported in the newspaper or on a reunion invitation.

Pidcock Family Reunions

Greetings Pidcocks everyone,
Short and Tall – old and young,
I’m glad you are there in our beloved Park
Where Washington’s crossing made its mark.
Many Times through these 93 years
I have met you there with laughter and cheers.
Cheers for our heritage, noble and strong
And our God who leads us aright when we’re headed wrong.
So I greet you now at this special Time
With joy in my heart and words in rhyme.
Don’t ever give up, don’t even give down –
Keep on coming, keep gathering the clan.
Let nothing dismay you, stay firm to the end
He’ll never betray you – He’s your best Friend!
So I greet you now on this special date
When you’ve come together to commemorate
Anna Pidcock Searcy (1/22/1909-2/2/2003)
