John Kraft was the host of the 2009 Reunion in Green Bay, WI.  Much thanks for a wonderful reunion!

The site of our reunion has been occupied by a hotel continuously since 1830  First was the Washington House.  Then in 1860 the Beaumont House was erected.  It was remodeled into the Beaumont Hotel in 1909.  It was named for famed Army surgeon Dr. William Beaumont.
