These are the Minutes from the first Simon Reunion held in 1941.

They were recorded by Mary Jane (Simon) Hurst, who was the eldest child of Francis & Elizabeth Simon. Francis is shown in c.1909 photo, below, left.

The original "Hastings" branch celebrated their 75th Simon Reunion, this past September, 2015.

The "Pittsburgh" families decided to be represented through the years by wearing different colored shirts.

This was great for identifying "who's who!"

Red.................... William "Bill"

Lt Blue............... Genevieve "Gen"

Green................ Mary "Louise"

Orange.............. Peter John

Black / White..... Thomas "Tom"

Navy Blue.......... "John" Joseph

Yellow ............... "Dorothy" Ruth

Aunt Dorothy Bielski came up with the matching colored shirts idea for each family. Her gang showed up at the 2nd Simon Reunion all wearing yellow!
