Hey Family & Friends!
I finally have the information for everyone to start making reservations at the site of the 2024 Watkins-Hamilton Family Reunion at Camp Richardson Resort in Lake Tahoe, California. We were at Camp Richardson in 2010 and we almost have the same set up with a block of 24 rooms in the hotel (some 2 double beds, single kings, and single queens).
When you call to reserve your room, please call the Reservation Department which can be reached at 1-800-544-1801 and tell the reservationist that you are booking with the Watkins/Hamilton Reunion and your requested accommodations.
Guests will be required to pay the first night stay with tax to reserve and confirm their individual reservation. The balance is due 60 days prior to arrival for reservations, so around May 24, 2024, rooms should be paid in full. *Multiple credit cards are not allowed for reservations.

Leland’s Birthday in Oregon
We partied hearty at Le-Le’s birthday party out in Portland.
A bunch of family got together and rented a bomb-ass house from Air BnB. All weekend long we cooked and ate like kings.
You only get old once, so enjoy it…
Check out the rest of the photos HERE.
Cousin Julia
We were recently contacted by another cousin! Everett’s oldest daughter found and got in contact with the family the other day.
Here is her picture!
Albert Watkins 8mm Home Movies
I recently found a box of 8mm film that belonged to my dad. I had it converted to digital, and am in the process of editing it and creating a bunch of short videos from the material. The one below is my own 1st birthday party, but there are many more with video of me (of course) and my parents. There is one of a Watkins family gatherings at Miller’s Meadow with Knott and Billie, Thelma and Floyd, Clem and Esther and a little Tony too! As I get them done I will upload them to my YouTube link where you, too, can see them any time.
Photos from Anita and Al
Just added 37 photos that Anita brought to the reunion. Some of Al as a young lad, family photos, ancestor and elders photos and more. Working on getting names with all the faces and using them in the family tree. Click the photo below to view them all. (Or go to the photo gallery page.)
