Secretary/Treasurer What a glorious day we are having in the Texas Hill Country today. Of course, we are short of rain, but what else is new??? Certainly not that. After the most severe winter here in many years, this lovely warm sunny day is most welcome. I am still reminiscing about our 2010 Reunion in Richmond, VA, and how great it was to meet so many of our Virginia cousins that we had not known before. What a good time we had! Sorry so many of you could not be there. Cabell and Rev. John C. were marvelous hosts and the folks at the Capital of the Confederacy and Confederate Museum were most hospitable. That is a really fine facility and most interesting to visit. Our reunion in St. Louis is shaping up to be equally as entertaining and interesting. An outing to the museum there is being planned as well, and from what I hear it is a fascinating place for the whole family. The programs being planned also promise to be outstanding, so make your arrangements, pack you bags, and "Meet Me In St. Louie, Louie." Hob nob with the most wonderful bunch of people in the world, the Chen(n)aults, Shinaults, Shinalls, etc., etc., including their "better halves." On a personal note, many of you are aware that my husband, Jay, was to have reconstructive surgery on his foot after I returned form last year’s reunion. He did, and after many months of recovery from that and some other medical problems, he is walking again with no pain in his foot. Of course, that did not cure the Rheumatoid Arthritis that caused the foot problem, or the effect of RA on all his joints, but thankfully, it did solve one of those problems. It has been a long year for us dealing with health issues, and we are grateful for all your prayers. We know they were the primary reason for the blessing of recovery from our ordeal. To quote the tag line of Robin Chenault’s emails, "God is Good . . . All The Time." Now, once more, we ask for your prayers. This time, for my brother, B. J. Many of you remember him from his leadership of the Memorial Services for several years at the Annual Chenault National Reunions. I recently learned that he has the "big C." He underwent surgery and came through it very well, and is quite optimistic for his future. Never-the-less, our prayers are with him and Evelyn and the family, and please pray with us for his full recovery. Now, back to more pleasant things: I plan to fly up to Dallas and drive from there to St. Louis and back with Sue, our Historian, web master, and "go to" person for anything we need. Don’t you know that we will have a ball on that trip! Especially, coming back. We won’t have to be back at any certain time, and who knows what side trips we may decide to take, or what stops we may make along the way. Anyway, you can bet it will be a ball! Look forward to seeing you soon - Yours truly, Barbara Chenault MacManus Secretary/Treasurer

Historian Carolyn Sue Chenault cschenau@swbell.net As historian for the association, I have in my possession the extensive files that include research and notes of many of our early researchers, including Walter Morris Chenault, Dr. Frank Chenault, Charlton Rogers, Belle Montgomery Chenault, James Artelle Chenault, and others. In addition, I have interfiled my own research and that of Donna Mellick as we have compiled and edited the material that appears in the new edition of the Red Book, entitled Descendants of Stephen Chenault (Estienne Cheneau). As I encounter old documents, correspondence, photos, etc., that require special care to preserve them, I am placing them into acid-free, archival quality files to ensure they are available in the future to those interested in them. At future reunions, I shall have these files available for interested parties to review. If you have such material, especially photos of your ancestors, that you are willing to share with us for inclusion in these files, please contact me and make arrangements to get them into my hands. Your cousins will appreciate your generosity. |
