2008 Meeting of the Chapman Family Association
The Chapman Family Association had a fantastic convention and reunion in Nashville June 13-15, 2008. The speakers were excellent and information was presented regarding the CFA web site and the several Chapman Branches.Everyone especially enjoyed hearing from the Chapmans who shared their military experiences in WWII and Viet Nam, and their photos and poetry about their Civil War Chapman ancestors. Thanks - Dave, John, Don, John Barnes - all Chapman guys! You were all great! We also heard about the military careers of former CFA president Bob Chapman and members Cliff and Gerry Chapman.The wonderful Chapman Military Photo Displays prepared by Kathy Tovar added much to our meeting. Thanks, Kathy, for a terrific job. The focus next year will be on Chapman Women - so start sending your photos to Kathy - of Chapman moms, sisters, wives and daughters.Mark Chapman did two great presentations on the Civil War. We all learned from him, and you'll be glad to hear that Mark has offered to speak at next year's convention in Pennsylvania. His topic will be Gettysburg. I'm really looking forward to hearing from him again.
