If you have read my reports on past meetings, you know I usually
start off by saying that the meeting was the "biggest and best
yet." However, I can't use that phrase to describe the 2001 meeting
in Raleigh, North Carolina. It was not the biggest in terms of attendance.
However, it did have its moments. It almost became the meeting that
never was. Your Board of Directors sent many email messages among
themselves discussing whether we should even have the meeting this
year because of the tragic events of September 11 and the fact, that
at the time, it was not known exactly if, when, or how the United
States was going to respond to or retaliate against whoever committed
the atrocity. The Board also consulted with the two remaining founders
of the Association. It was finally decided that we had no choice but
to continue with the plans for the meeting. This was due mostly to
the severe economic penalties that would be incurred by the Association
if the contract with the hotel were not honored, especially within
the last ninety days before the meeting. There was also some concern
from some Board members over fears that we would have more than a
few cancellations because of the uncertain conditions that have existed
since September. A few were concerned that maybe we would have some
who would not cancel in advance but simply just not show up. Fortunately,
we only had a few cancellations. Only one of those had anything to
do with the state of world affairs. The others were health problems
of members or their spouses or job conflicts.
We arrived on the scene late Thursday afternoon. The hotel was rather
difficult to find. Evidently, someone didn't believe in placing any
signs near streets to help people find places like hotels. You really
had to be on your toes or you would miss it completely. Several members
did on the initial go-around. I would have if it hadn't been for my
trusty navigator. The hotel sets back off the street from which it
is addressed and is situated with the side of the building actually
facing the street. It was very, very easy to miss seeing it.
The first activity scheduled for Raleigh was a tour on Wednesday.
As we did not arrive until late Thursday afternoon, we missed the
Wednesday and Thursday tours and so my report on them will be based
mostly on hearsay. The Wednesday guided tour consisted of historic
places in and around Raleigh, some of which were connected with the
Alfords. The group toured some of the State Capitol building in downtown
Raleigh. It is a National Historic Landmark and is considered one
of the best-preserved examples of a civic building in the nation.
I understand the group got lost (or maybe misrouted would be a better
word for it) and ended up talking to a gentleman while he was intently
playing with a little fire he had going. He was no help in their quest
for the Alford site but he did know a lady who knew everything about
everything. He gave them directions to get to the lady's location.
However, she turned out to be of no help either. The group decided
to end their search for the Alford Holy Grail and return to the hotel.
The Thursday tour consisted of a visit to the North Carolina State
Library and State Archives. North Carolina is rich in Alford history.
It is no easy task to get into the Library or Archives. You don't
just walk in and tell them you are there to do some research and ask,
"Where do I start?" Ramona Darden, meetings chairperson,
researched how to access the facilities prior to the meeting and the
group was pre-registered. You do have to show an ID to get into the
building. I think between Lynn Shelley and Alicia Houston making copies
of material, another forest bit the dust somewhere and the state of
North Carolina probably had to invest in a new copier. Everyone who
participated seemed to enjoy themselves and the material they found
at the library and archives.
The official meeting got underway Friday with the registration table
opening at 8:30 AM. Lynn Shelley kicked off the meeting and welcomed
everyone who had registered for the Friday session.
Gil Alford and Lynn Shelley talked about the Research Room that was
available at the meeting. They told everyone just where it was and
gave a brief description of what was included in the room.
Alicia Houston did a presentation on the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints (LDS Church) Family History Centers and their world-famous
genealogical repository in Salt Lake City (the site of next year's
meeting). Alicia discussed the information that is available in Salt
Lake and the procedures for getting the information via a local Family
History Center. She also discussed the IGI records, the pedigree files
and the ancestor records and how the content of each is a little bit
different. She also talked about the "source" book that
is published by the LDS. The "source" book explains the
information that is available and how to go about obtaining the information.
Alicia also talked about the LDS Church from a historical standpoint.
As always, Alicia's presentation was informative and well received
by the audience.
Lynn Shelley gave a presentation on the genealogical records that
are available for North Carolina research. She mentioned a twenty-five
volume set of books that contain information about the early settlers
of North Carolina. She also talked about some new information she
had run across concerning a John Alford of North Carolina. She told
of how land was allocated in the early days and how the allocation
was based on the number of people a person brought into the state.
She discussed the North Carolina Alfords, Halfords, and Oldfords.
She was ably interrupted, I mean assisted, by the Association's resident
Alford database, Gil Alford.
Lee Ann Turner presented a humorous talk on things archivists find
objectionable about researchers. It was in the form of a Researcher's
Ten Commandments. One of the commandments was "Thou shalt be
brief!" Everyone seemed to have enjoyed the talk and shared many
laughs during the presentation.
Gil Alford gave a presentation concerning the Alfords of central
North Carolina during the period of 1790 - 1850. After that presentation,
Gil, along with my cuz, Peggy Schuster, gave a talk concerning WWI
Draft Registration Records. Wick Alford then introduced well-known
genealogist, Helen F. M. Leary, who gave a short talk. Ms. Leary has
been a tremendous help to Wick in the field of research. Although
Ms. Leary has no Alford kin, she has done extensive research concerning
Alfords.
One of the nice things about being at the meeting is that you have
a chance to meet some of the nicest people. One such person was Carolyn
McClendon who is from the Raleigh area. She was attending with her
parents, Pansy and Denman McClendon, member number 0453. Carolyn had
a young (very young) man with her by the name of Matt. While I do
not remember his exact age, it was measured in weeks and I want to
say two weeks, but that may not be correct. Carolyn cares for babies
who have been given up for adoption. In North Carolina, there is a
twenty-one day waiting period between the time a parent or parents
actually give up the baby for adoption and the time the adoptive parents
can take the child home. Both of Matt's parents decided to give him
up for adoption. They already had two children and didn't want a third
one. Matt was so adorable. The ladies were passing him around like
he was a new quilt or something. There were even some suggestions
that maybe he be offered as the grand prize in our raffle drawing.
Carolyn is to be commended for doing what must be at the same time,
a rewarding and heart-breaking task. I know the women who held Matt
for only a few minutes really hated to give him back. I can only imagine
what giving him back after twenty-one days would be like. My hat is
off to Carolyn.
Ninety-three people attended the Friday evening buffet. The food
was good but unfortunately, it ran out before the people did. Some
were relegated to punch and some of the garnishment. Every effort
will be made to see that that doesn't happen in the future. Ramona
Darden, Meetings Chairperson, is looking into some different possibilities
for future meetings after Salt Lake City, which is already under contract.
The Board of Directors met after the buffet. And for the first time
that I can remember, we met in an actual Board Room or close to it.
The facilities were very nice. This proved to be one of the more lively
meetings that I have had the privilege of attending. There were reports
concerning the gift shop, the quarterly, new members or lack thereof,
revenue or lack thereof, North Carolina updates, treasury report,
photo archives and wills, Nomination Committee report, scholarship
and fund report, and Gil Alford's basement. Gil's basement is otherwise
known as AAFA Central where the vast majority of the Association's
data is stored. And while most don't like to talk about it, there
will come a time when Mr. AAFA won't be around anymore. I am not for
sure, but I think I heard someone mention Gil and Methuselah in the
same breath, if that gives you any indication of Gil's age. A plan
was formulated for removal of the material in Gil's basement if and
when it becomes necessary or he requests it. Personally, I hope he
beats Methuselah's 969 years. I would be remiss if I didn't mention
Evelyn Mistich. One of my responsibilities is to take notes at the
Board meeting and also the Saturday morning business meeting. I hate
taking notes and besides that, I get so busy writing, that I miss
a lot that is being said. So, I asked Evelyn if she would mind taking
notes for me at the Board meeting and the business meeting. She agreed
to do that for me for which I am and will be eternally grateful. I
was thinking I could take her notes and then write up the minutes.
Evelyn is such a thoughtful person, that she made a copy of her notes
and gave to me just in case something happened on her way home. She
wanted to type them up before giving them to me because she was afraid
I wouldn't be able to read her notes. She typed them and emailed me
a copy almost before we got home. She did such a good job that I didn't
even have to do anything to them. That was way above and beyond what
I had originally asked her to do. If I had had to retype them, I probably
would have lost the notes by now on my computer desk somewhere. Evelyn,
thanks for tackling those two tasks for me. You were a tremendous
help.
President Dick Alford called the Saturday morning session to order.
Dick then introduced our meetings chairperson, Ramona Darden. Ramona,
in turn, introduced David Heinl of the Greater Raleigh Visitors and
Convention Bureau. Mr. Heinl welcomed us all to Raleigh and gave us
a little information about his city.
Reports were given by Max Alford on membership, Lynn Shelley on the
library, Doris Vetri on the treasury, Kim Savage on the AAFA web site,
Janice Smith on photos and wills, Alicia Houston on the census project,
Ramona Darden on future meeting sites (Indiana was selected for the
2005 meeting), Jim Adams on the quarterly, Sally Stoewer on the gift
shop, Seanne Carrigan on the Scholarship Committee, and Morris Myers
on the Nominating Committee. Kim Savage, Jeanne Singleton, Elroy Alford
and Janet Hemby were introduced as the Nominating Committee's recommendation
for the four open slots on the Board of Directors. There were no nominations
from the floor and the new nominees were elected by voice vote. The
officer nominees were then introduced to the floor. They were Max
Alford, President, Morris Myers, Vice President, and Doris Vetri,
Secretary/Treasurer. The Board with its new members quickly convened
and unanimously elected those recommended by the committee. Dick Alford
discussed why he did not seek another term as president. He has decided
to devote most of his time pursuing a cause he has long held dear
in the medical field. The new President then expressed the Association's
appreciation to the outgoing Board members, Don Alford, Janice Smith,
and Cecil Alford, for the fine job they had done during their three
year tenure on the Board. Each was presented with a certificate expressing
that appreciation. The outgoing President, Dick Alford, and Vice President,
Lynn Shelley, were also presented certificates expressing the Association's
appreciation for the jobs they had done during their tenure in those
positions. The Saturday morning business meeting was then adjourned.
The Saturday afternoon Alford Family Forum was well attended as usual.
There always seems to be information presented in a way that holds
everyone's attention during this session. This was no exception. The
first presentation, the Hoge family (an Alford related family) was
given by Mike Heazel. Milt Folds who gave a presentation on the Alford
related families of Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia followed
that. Wick Alford then introduced Colonel Ransom McBride, USAF Ret.
Colonel McBride is well known in genealogical circles. He provided
much help to Wick in his quest for his Alford ancestors. The meeting
was then adjourned so members could prepare themselves for the Saturday
night buffet.
The Saturday night buffet drew the largest attendance, as usual,
at the meeting. And, as usual, since food was involved, people began
arriving at the door of the buffet room well in advance of the announced
time for the buffet. By arriving early, you tend to get a chance to
indulge in a lot of idle chitchat that you would otherwise get a chance
to. In talking to Mike and Betty Heazel, I found out the Alfords (at
least the southern Alfords) aren't the only ones who are touchy about
the pronunciation of their name. I innocently (if you know me, you
know it had to be innocently. Yeah, right!) called Betty Heazel Betty
Heezel when it is pronounced Hazel. She informed me that if I insisted
on calling her that, she would call me Alfred. She definitely knows
how to hurt a person. I immediately threw up a white flag of surrender
and thereafter pronounced her last name correctly. Of course, we both
did it in fun. While waiting for the doors to open, someone mentioned
that it would be a good idea to say the Pledge of Allegiance before
commencing with the food. I believe it was either Don Alford or Milt
Folds. My apologies to whoever it was. Ramona Darden quickly rounded
up an American flag. I asked Don if he would mind leading us in the
Pledge. It was a first for the meetings and in light of the recent
events, a very timely thing to do. Don did a good job of leading the
pledge. After an excellent meal, there were some awards and honors
to pass out.
Wick Alford, Carolyn Chambliss, and Bill Mitchiner presented the
names of the members who had passed away since the last meeting. The
members were: 0358, Elizabeth Hawes Hazlip (10-19-00); 0586, Thomas
Harney Alford, Sr. (10-13-00); 1074, James Alford Deal (date of death
unknown); 0304, Gale J. Belser (08-30-00); 0198, Willie M. Alford
(11-11-00); 0235, Josephine Alford Carrigan (02-03-01); 0099, Clifford
L. Alford (05-09-90); 0869, Audrey House Boles (12-16-00); 0341, Joyce
Alford Pierce (date of death unknown); 0079, Sarah Alford Thornhill
(05-21-01); 0398, Helen Alford Bankston (06-07-01); 0364, Katherine
Alford Echols (06-14-01); 1147, James Hazelton (05-25-01); 0054, Catherine
Guynes Alford (10-07-00); 0158, Beatrice Alford Parramore (10-03-01);
0177, Charles William Ekin (10-05-01); and 0010, Lena Mitchiner. Lena,
who was the wife of Bill Mitchiner, passed away several years ago
but had never been honored at any of the meetings. Wick thought it
was appropriate to do so this time. As each name was read, a bell
was struck once in memory of that person. The ceremony was a very
touching moment.
The next awards were for those who were honored by the Board as Distinguished
Members. Distinguished Members are those people who have distinguished
themselves during the preceding year by the work they performed during
the past year. It doesn't even necessarily have to be work directly
for the Association. Any work that helps promote the Alford name or
the gathering of Alford data is considered to be beneficial to the
Association and its causes and therefore is worthy of the Distinguished
Member honor. The following were accorded the honor at this year's
meeting: Jeanne B. Singleton, Ramona Alford Darden, Earline B. Alford,
Peggy Alford Schuster, Nancy Alford Dietrich, Stephanie Alford, Carolyn
Alford Chambliss, Sam McCray, Robin Alford Sterling, James and Sue
Adams, and Henry and Sharon Klehm. These people are to be commended
for the work they have done as well as the work they continue to do.
Next on the Awards Program were the Alford Hall of Fame inductions.
This year, there were three such inductions. They were all a little
unusual because the first was awarded posthumously and the other two
involved the induction of a husband and wife together. As some of
you may know, last year shortly after the Augusta, Georgia, meeting,
the Association lost a key member of the meeting team. Elizabeth Hawes
Hazlip had a terrible, accidental fall as she arrived home from the
meeting. She suffered a head trauma from which she did not recover.
Elizabeth was the publicist for the Association. She was also a very
dear friend to all who were fortunate enough to have known her. She
was a very unassuming person but make no mistake about it, she was
a key person when it came to getting word out about the meetings and
the Association. She would send untold numbers of letters to newspapers,
libraries, and genealogical societies advising them of the upcoming
meeting. She flooded not only the state where the meeting was being
held but the surrounding states as well. All the letters were hand
written because Elizabeth believed that a hand written letter would
be better received and better accepted than a form or a typed letter.
I am surprised she didn't wear her fingers to the bone writing all
those letters. Elizabeth had a slow, southern drawl and you couldn't
help but be charmed by her. She is dearly missed. All of us regret
that this honor came to her too late for her to enjoy it.
Janice and John Smith were the first to be inducted at the meeting
itself. Anyone who has been to a meeting will recognize Janice and
John as the two people always moving around with at least one, sometimes
two, cameras slung around their necks. They take a lot of photographs
during the days of the meeting as well as family group pictures after
the Saturday night buffet. And that is only part of what they do.
They also collect Alford photographs and store them in the photo archives
for future generations to enjoy. The photos are catalogued so if someone
would like copies of a particular person, Janice or John can tell
fairly quickly if any such photos are in the archive. Janice is also
the Wills Project Officer as well as during data input for the Census
Project. She has also served on the Board of Directors. I have known
John and Janice for around ten years and they are truly deserving
of the honor.
The next two inductees into the Hall of Fame were Sally and Dick
Stoewer. Sally and Dick have managed the gift shop at the meeting
for seven years. They haul the merchandise to each meeting and then
what's left is hauled back to Baton Rouge. Dick is always helping
out in the store except the few times he is able to sneak off and
read the paper. Sally and Dick were heavily involved in the planning
of a very successful meeting in 1993 in St. Francisville, Louisiana.
Sally is the Chairperson of the Merchandise Committee. As such, she
searches each year for new items to add to the shop's inventory. Sally
has also submitted Alford obituary data and contributed to the Census
Project. She has also served on the Board of Directors. I have known
Dick and Sally for many years also. We have shared many a laugh in
the gift shop. As were the Smiths, Sally and Dick are also truly deserving
of the honor.
After the awards, the winning numbers for the raffle prizes were
drawn. The awarding of the prizes will be covered in another article
in this quarterly or the one to follow.
Afterwards, several of us sit around in the lobby rearranging the
furniture a little past midnight. There were lots of laughs and almost
as many yawns as laughs. It is one of the more enjoyable times to
be had at the meeting. No one is in a rush and everyone is unwinding
because for all practical purposes, another meeting has come to an
end.
Sunday morning found a lot of members packing up to leave. They come
around to the gift shop and research room to do some last minute visiting
and to say their good-byes for this year. You also hear a lot of "see
you next year" as the members depart. The normal routine is to
start packing up all the boxes of research material as well as the
gift shop merchandise. But this year that was altered somewhat because
the hotel said as long as we were out of the rooms before midnight,
everything would be fine.
Those of us who were scheduled for the Sunday afternoon tour met
the bus at the front door around 1 or 1:30 pm. The bus proceeded down
to the Visitors Bureau where we picked up a very nice lady who served
as our guide for the afternoon. As you may know, Raleigh is a very
old city and as such, has many structures of historical significance.
There were some beautiful old homes along the tour route. We stopped
for a break across the street from the state capitol building. Some
took the opportunity to stretch their legs and get something to snack
on. There were also some museums in the buildings where the bus stopped.
Some went searching for sand boxes and powder rooms. We didn't find
out until we got back to the hotel that the bus was equipped with
a bathroom. About this time, I was in severe pain and had to rush
off to find the nearest vending machine or snack bar. Luckily, there
was one on the fourth floor of one of the museums. I had to get a
medicinal coke to relieve my chest pains. Thank goodness there was
one nearby or somebody would have had to shoot me to put me out of
my misery. We than got back on the bus to resume the tour. Our last
stop was back at the Visitors Bureau to drop off our guide. She did
an excellent job and made everything very interesting. She has also
brought along prizes, which were awarded during the tour. I had my
usual string of good luck and didn't win anything. As we pulled back
into the hotel parking lot, someone said something to the effect that
"at least our bus driver could find the hotel." To which
the man behind the steering wheel of the bus replied "your bus
driver didn't find it, your coach operator found it." Those may
not have been the exact words but something to that effect. As we
were leaving the bus, the bus driver, eh, coach operator, inquired
of my wife, Earline, what we were all about. She informed him that
we had just had our annual reunion. He than asked if we were all one
family. My wife told him that all the different lines had not been
traced back to a common ancestor but we were working on it. The coach
operator said that was really neat.
It wasn't too long after we got back to the hotel before it started
raining and I mean raining hard. Almost all of us who were still at
the hotel decided to venture out for dinner. The only place we knew
of close by was a Steak and Ale right up the hill from the hotel.
When we arrived at the Steak and Ale, we short some people. So, John
Smith volunteered to return to the hotel and track them down. Everyone
finally showed up. The meal was fine and we all shared a few more
laughs. Monday morning got there much too quickly. It seemed like
only yesterday that we pulled in and now everyone was getting ready
to leave. As each party pulled out either in their own vehicle or
on the courtesy bus to the airport, those who were not quite ready
were there to say their final good-byes. Some were going home, others
were continuing on to other places before returning home. My wife
and I were headed to Savannah, Georgia, with Jan and Elroy Alford
leading the way. But that is another story, which I hope to put in
writing for a future quarterly. When you have as good a time as we
had with Jan and Elroy, you want to tell people about it.
Below you will find a list of all those who were in attendance at
the meeting along with their city and state and family lineage, if
known. All who were members have their membership number shown.
