  • Monterey Matters: Reunions connect family

    The Atha family held its annual family reunion at the Monterey Park Sept. 2.
    Despite some rumors that this had been postponed until further notice, there were several people who showed up after all.
    I was going to mention the reunion the week before last but I couldn’t get in touch with anyone to confirm the rumor.
    With the threat of rain they were calling for that day, I also figured there wouldn’t be very many to attend either.
    We ended up having about 57 to attend.
