The
2008 Bauersachs Family
Reunion
was held in
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
Our
theme
this year was
"BRING YOUR GRANDCHILDREN TO GETTYSBURG."
The Reunion Headquarters
for July 24-27, 2008 was
at the Days Inn. Several family members who had arrived early went for supper
on Thursday evening at the
Historic 1776
Dobbin House
Tavern.
On
Friday many family
members attended a
Pay-As-U-Go supper at Perkins
Restaurant next to the
Days Inn. This was followed by a social time in the
Meade Room of the Days Inns.
On Saturday morning, many boarded a
double-decker Battlefield Tour Bus for a
tour of Gettysburg and the battlefield
areas.

On Saturday afternoon, July 26, we welcomed
Kenneth Bowersox to the 2008 FAMILY REUNION!
He was very patient and answered question
after question and stayed
to autograph photos and posed for pictures
with MANY family members for over an hour (or more).
Kenneth D. Bowersox (Captain, USN),
Nasa Astronaut, was born in 1956 in Virginia, but
considers Bedford, IN to be his hometown. He is married and they have three
boys. His great, great grandfather, Asaph Bowersox, enlisted twice in the
Civil War (1862-1865). In 1974 Ken graduated from Bedford High School,
