Considering the COVID-19 uncertainties around group gatherings this summer, the Standing Family Reunion was not held at the Bear Creek Meeting House. In the meantime, rather than miss out on this opportunity to gather before the next in-person reunion, we planned a virtual reunion using the Zoom platform. This took place on June 27, 2020 with 71 participants from 4 countries. The entire 4.5-hour video session has been archived, unedited. This material is not available for downloading (2.5 GB) but if anyone is interested send Ted Foster a flash drive via snail mail. The soundtrack does not match the video because of transmission and monitoring issues.
Some business was conducted. It was decided to provide the normal rent to the Bear Creek Friends Meeting, as if we had held the reunion there as originally planned. Rather than waiting two more years for a face-to-face reunion, the consensus was to plan a reunion for next summer at the Bear Creek Meeting House and include a Zoom component.

NOTE ABOUT VIDEO: For many lap-tops and desk computers media files on the Standing Family Reunion site need to fully download from the SFR server before the media begins to play. Connection speeds vary. For larger video clips there may be a delay up to about one-fourth timewise of the minutes of the video.
If you do not see anything happening open your "downloads" folder to start the video. When you are finished, you may need to delete the file if you don't want to keep it. Video quality in larger files has been compressed to reduce file size, which is generally not very noticeable.
