January 10th 2008: Allison Wood from California
Hi Everyone. My husband and I are throwing a party near Lorne on April 12th 2008 to celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary. Since we have been living in California all this time we are looking forward to seeing our family together. We are open to any family member - cousins, aunts, uncles and now that some of my second cousins are old enough to be self-sufficient - to celebrate with us and join in this reunion of sorts. I am the daughter of John and Pamela Wood of Epping. Alli Wood
November 30th 2007: Chris and Maureen Robb of Wangaratta
Your Message: Hi Rob, Clare and Olive. Thanks for posting all the November 2007 reunion photos and report. Was a fun day and definitely maintains those family bonds. And extra special to have "The Godfather".. Uncle Eddie, now the elder of the clan in our midst. Finally, Woodchips has now become an excellent collection of family history - past and present. We greatly appreciate the time and effort involved. Love Maureen and Chris

Comments:Hello from the "godfather" as Vic White calls me. Great to hear the voices of my parents. If you have trouble on the first play click Hilda's or George's name again and it is good as one can get. The original was poor. Eddie
