REUNION: Clouds descend on Mendenhall

The Texas-based Cloud Family Association held its biannual family reunion at the Mendenhall Inn this past weekend. The attendees, from all across the country, attended seminars about DNA testing, how to track down difficult-to-find ancestors (hint: think like they did), and the 1777 Battle of the Brandywine. A full-day bus trip on Sunday, with a boxed lunch from Whole Foods, took them to many churches, Quaker meetinghouses and other spots that played a role in the family's history. In 2020 they'll convene in Nashville.
