October 19, 2003 Little Italy Reunion

January 12, 2004 Old Timers Breakfast.  See Below

 

 

December 13, 2003, Wadsworth, NY - Frank and Dale Anne Laumer from Dade Battlefield Society located in Dade City, Florida along with their Daughter and her husband and the York VFW dedicated a new tomb stone for Ransom Clark in front of about thirty people that were interested.  Frank has spent over forty years researching Ransom Clark and the Seminole Uprising in Florida in the early 1800's.

Frank and his family were in Wadsworth in 1977 doing research on Ransom in order to verify the injuries Ransom wrote he had sustained were true.  The research proved that the injuries were true as accounted by Ransom.

Also present at the dedication were David and Harry Clark who presented a wreath at the grave site, their family and Sharon Clark who played Taps.

We listened to a number of stories that everyone shared.  The breakfast was put together on very short notice but everyone had a good time and would like to continue the breakfast each month.  They did not set a date for the next one yet but decided they would like more people to attend the next one.  This was put together on short notice and we did not get a chance to call everyone they wanted to call. 

We would like to thank every one at "The Barn" for the hospitality they showed the group and the donation they made to the group.
