Happy New Year! Our reunion is only 179 days away!


Hello Carlson extended family. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday with family and friends. I was happy to see so many photos and cards in my mailbox!

Reunion update: 

Not much new, but just to make sure everyone still has the date, Friday, July 17 - Sunday, July 19, 2026 on the calendar. 

I'm working on our Saturday excursion to the city. 

Please click on the form link below and let me know if you are INTERESTED in the following. This is not yet a commitment. I need to put a reservation on a bus that will tour us around Chicago, and take us home. Please fill out the form to the best of your knowledge.

I'm looking to see how many people are interested in:

Coming to the Reunion in general, Sat am Train from Bartlett to Chicago, Architectural Boat Tour, Deep Dish Pizza lunch and/or 3 hour bus tour with a ride home. Please record answers on the form here:

Thank you!- Laurie
