Mary Elliott and her husband Lowell came a week before the reunion and we enjoyed visiting, feasting together and arranging flowers for the Delaware County Historical Association dinner.

History Day - Thursday
Robert Sheehy gave a talk about the Elliott history at Sally Elliott Scrimshaw’s house in Delhi on Thursday evening. We all enjoyed pizza before the presentation.

Open House at Sally & Roy's house - Friday
Folks started showing up after noon and we enjoyed visiting, looking at old photos and many spent the afternoon putting together one of Jim Elliott’s famous puzzles. It was a small one but was unusually hard even for the puzzle savvy Dilley’s.
