GAITHER/JAMES 51st FAMILY REUNION

PHILADELPHIA, PA

July 3rd – 6th 2025

Dear Family Members:

​

Time is quickly approaching for this year’s reunion and we are excited to see everyone back together again.

​

We are planning for a fun filled exciting weekend and hope to see you  It won’t be the same without you.  We want to have a large turnout this year and your response and participation is the key to making this happen. In addition to your participation, please share this information with other family members, as some may not be on the email/mailing list.  

​

There is a lot of historical history in Philadelphia and we plan to do as much as we can to show you around.  It won’t be the same without you and you will be missed.

​

Also in our plans is a night of family fun and games and an opportunity to love on one another.  It’s amazing how we have come through and some still going through but at this appointed time we can enjoy one another with love.
