The Stories of Joaquin on Facebook
I got to go to the 2019 reunion and was so blessed to be there. Several of the older people remembered my grandparents or my Mother or her siblings. I haven't been to one in over 40 years. We used to go with Grandma when I was young......Jane Sanford Keppler
I attended the 2022 homecoming and totally enjoyed it. I neglected to take photos of the beautiful sidewalks that have been added.
Be sure and check out the Museum's website for more transcriptions.
