Recap from the SGS President

Evelyn and I certainly enjoyed getting together again with so many Seeley cousins at Fort Wayne. I am honored to have been chosen to be the President of the Seeley Genealogical Society for the next three years and am looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead. The fourth SGS Reunion was called to order on Thursday, Aug. 24, in the ballroom of the Airport Hilton at Fort Wayne, Ind. The room and the reunion were filled with Seeley descendants from all over the U.S. John Seely gave a report on his computer printouts, and Montell Seely gave a talk on his large family book and its special cover design. The hospitality room was laid out with displays, charts, books, copying material, and room for visiting. Steve Meyers of the Allen County Library presented a slide tour, followed by a program on “Video Taping Your Genealogy.” Maurine Seely conducted a class in genealogy, while John Seely headed a discussion on computers and family printouts. Clyde Chamberlin gave a slide show titled “Tombstone Art.”
