1987 Family Reunion

This reunion was May 23rd & 24th 1987. It was primarly organized by Roger Maason. This reunion brought many branches of the family together. The Monsons, The Bensons, The Masons, The Onherheims, all families are descendants of Jorgen Arbakka.
Here is a note from Denise:
I’m also uploading this one, which has video shot by my husband Michael, at the reunion that my mom and dad hosted in 1987 at Irwin. You’ll see you and your mom and sister straight away in the parking lot, my dad introducing your grandpa Archie and Uncle Elmer and Bernie Onherheim to sing the Norwegian national anthem, and lots of fun footage of everyone there.
Made me cry, we’ve lost so many …. But tears exist only because the love was so great.
