The Vrana Cousins Reunion on June 27, 1998 was held at Mahoney State Park near Ashland, NE. We had 2 foursomes that played the Ashland golf course the previous day. Cousin Bob had an Eagle on #4 and was the medalist. Phil and Jean had made arrangements for our group to have the Red Oak Room which provided great space for our gathering. Brother Don was MC who announced the golf scores and led discussion on plans to have the next reunion at Lexington, NE in 3 years; to be hosted by Bob & Helen. Ruth brought a scrapbook that included a sale bill and correspondence on the sale of the old Vrana Farm and Estate. We not only had an opportunity to tell all the "news" about our own families, but also did a lot of reminiscing about the family gatherings we all were a part of out at the old farm. We all appreciate each other even more as we age and certainly more than when we were "competitive" youngsters. Grandma Vrana may have stimulated some of that competition by telling each of us what great things each of our cousins were doing.
