First Chesterville reunion hosted by Andersons Jay and Faye Anderson hosted a

momentous FirstTime Reunion of old time Chesterville residents in their home in Chesterville Jan. 17, 1998.

Through diligent gathering of names and addresses, 53 people met for a covered dish luncheon and the sharing of the "good ole days".

Many sent regrets that, "this time I cannot make it, but please let me know if there ever is another one!"
