2011 Kippo Reunion

We had a very pleasant afternoon once again in Mossyrock. OK, it's really Salk, but somehow Mossyrock sounds better.

Merry and Jim didn't make it because Merry had too much pain in her feet. Barbara joined us for the first time since our initial gathering in 2002.

We reminisced, telling stories about the Kippo farm and the place on Clear Creek.

As for the rest of you - we miss you and hope you will be able to join us again next year. Think - blueberries - and great potluck.

Check out the 2011 Reunion Picture Album. It has been tagged with name captions now. And stop by our Facebook page from time to time to say hello!

2009 Kippo Reunion in Mossyrock




Despite an east-coast boycott this year (grin!) the Kippo clan assembled once again at Karen and Fred's home in Mosseyrock. It was just a one day affair, Sunday, August 2nd, but attended for the first time by Randy Hanson and his wife Cindy.

It was mainly a quiet afternoon, getting caught up with recent family activities. Most stayed for a great potluck dinner.

Blueberries? Of course!

East-coasters, we miss you and hope you can get together with the rest of the Kippo clan next summer.

2008 Kippo Reunion in Mossyrock

Well, we did it again! The Kippos got together at Fred and Karen's in Mosseyrock. Karen surprised most everyone with her 'new look', being smaller, lighter and much healthier than before. We all got to attend a real friendly and enjoyable neighborhood block party where Fred played his bass fiddle.

Later, Fred and Karen surprised everyone with the news and report of their recent "reconnaissance" trip to Kalvi, Finland!

Our initial gathering in 2002 started the reunion ball rolling and served to finalize the family tree notebooks.
