Notes:

Tribute to Esther Perry Averitte by an admiring second cousin--Fannie Belle Priest Kipp

Esther is a nurse and was a hard working one a few years back. When time for our family reunion rolled around she arranged to get a couple of hours off to join us at the American Legion Home on Lake Weir. She would show up in her working uniform--always with a big smile and a warm handshake. After some persuasion she would agree to MC our doings--when she would throw her arms wide and say,

"WELCOME COUSINS"

a tingle would go up the spine and you very well knew the mood was set for a close fellowship with kinfolks you hadn't seen for a year and for meeting new relatives many of whom you had never seen before. Sometimes Esther would carry her hospitality a step further and have the reunion at her lovely home. Best wishes, Esther, for good health and for more years visiting with us at the REUNION.
