The reunion in Gettysburg was fun, and we left full of ideas and enthusiasm.
The treasury is in good shape. It’s far from fat so IRS isn’t breathing down our back, and it’s far from lean where we might not be able to do anything. It’s a great place to begin my term as President, thank you very much.
There’s no mess to clean up, no recovery to be made, no crisis to overcome --- just a clean horizon.
There are some projects that we’re planning on moving along with.
The first is the Thayer Family DNA Genealogy Project. I ordered my test kit this morning. The paper trail indicates that I’m a descendant of Thomas, and I hope to have the DNA project confirm this. Please stay in contact with Kate Kuzmich for frequent developments, and late breaking news. Any of you can contribute to this database, and we’ll finally be able to find the DNA lines of the three initial immigrants. We have found a researcher who will keep the information private and secure.
Another project is to get on with the publishing of the Thayer Family genealogy. We are hoping the project started by Patricia Thayer Muno, the TFA Genealogist, will soon be back up and running again. There are a few different venues in approaching this, and they’re being explored.
There are also other avenues being explored to continue the publishing the Thayer Family Genealogy.
While not discouraging, we’re looking at a membership drive to nudge the membership up a bit. That’s something that everybody can help with. Encourage your kids to join. Encourage your relatives to join.
I’m pleased to report that Lee Thayer is back at being Editor of the Thayer Quarterly, and Jim Thayer is proceeding in the Webmaster’s position with an entirely new website.
This promises to be an exciting two years, and I’m looking forward to the strides we can make.
