Van Marel Reunion, June 16-25, 2017, in state of Minnesota

 We were welcomed by the state of Minnesota!!!     Another fantastic Van Marel Reunion was enjoyed with a private bus tour around the state of Minnesota from June 16 to June 25, 2017, the land of 10,000 lakes. Joining us in the fun were 28 family members from 7 states, plus the Netherlands. A BIG thanks goes to Craig and Cheryl Colton who volunteered to show us the highlights of their home state and coordinate this well-planned trip! We all were surprised and pleased with the hidden treasures that we saw around this beautiful state. The best part of the tour was spending time with family. As a bonus, we would like to share some of the other highlights with you.  Elaine and Paul De Jong were our tour guide and driver. They took on the same responsibility during our tour/reunion from Iowa to California and back in 2009. In 2015, Craig and Cheryl
