The Stories of Joaquin on Facebook

I got to go to the 2019 reunion and was so blessed to be there.   Several of the older people remembered my grandparents or my Mother or her siblings.   I haven't been to one in over 40 years.  We used to go with Grandma when I was young......Jane Sanford Keppler

I attended the 2022 homecoming and totally enjoyed it.  I neglected to take photos of the beautiful sidewalks that have been added.

There is a Facebook page called The Stories of Joaquin Texas.   Check it out and post your pictures and queries.
