Collett-McKay
Families Have
98th Reunion

     On Saturday, the 98th annual Collett-McKay reunion was held at the picnic grounds on Guerneyville Rd. in Clinton County. Early historical data, registers, pictures, maps and the McKay tartan were on display. In the years since the first reunion in 1867, the attendance has varied from that first picnic when 111 were present, to 542 at the largest gathering in 1888.
     "The Picnic" (as it is referred to by all) is always held on the second Saturday in August and will celebrate its 100th year in 1966. Since the picnic functions without officers or committees, it is hoped that in 1966 each family will send out postcards to non-attending relatives notifying them of the 100th year. Any documents or infor mation about either the Scottish clan, McKay, or the French Hugenot, Collets, would be especially welcome for this special occasion.
     Registered from out of Ohio this year were Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Rowsey, Huntington, W. Va.; Mr. and Mrs. Everett J. Nickerson, Arlington, Calif.; Mr. and Mrs. Edwin A. Lane, Cherry Hill, N. J., and Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Sell and family, Lexington, Ky.
