WHEN: July 4-6, 2003

WHERE: Stoney Creek Inn, St. Joseph, MO.

Over a hundred H.F. Schindler descendants attended the reunion. It was a great success! The 75th was a uniquely special occasion when families came to rediscover their roots and have a fun, entertaining weekend. Wayne Schindler headed the committee to make plans for the event (a representative from each branch served on the committee). We sincerely hope everyone had a great time participating in the family activities and renewing ties with your branch of the family as well as the entire H.F. clan.
