We were so lucky to be able to travel to Montana for a family reunion this month. This was no normal family reunion either! It was the celebration of the Cullinane - Calnan's being in The United States for 100 years, from Ireland. There were a few hundred people, from all over the world who joined us, that were all family. It was an amazing and incredible experience and a great learning experience about our family. I learned so much that I didn't know before. The Calnan's in Butte and Anaconda are somewhat of a fixture in that area. There were 10 children born of John and Ellen, so there were lots of them to go around! Everyone was so excited we were there, and we were featured on the front page of the paper. We spent time learning about our family, listening to old stories, getting to know each other, swimming, partying, having campfires, sightseeing and joining an An Ri Ra - A huge Irish festival. There was also lots of Jamison's passed around! ;)
