Brenda Smith emailed to say, " I wanted to dedicate the 30th annual Quagliata Family Reunion to Uncle Frank (Aka: Dad, Grandpa, brother, and best friend).  He loved coming to the reunion and it was nice to know that he was there in spirit.  The most vivid memory is of him wearing his "I'm Italian" shirt.  Some of the best times I had were the poker games that he got started!  A salute to Uncle Frank and everyone's great memories of him!"

The 2005 reunion was held at Fair Haven Beach State Park in New York.  Brenda Smith (a major contributor to this website), Rosemary Bowler and other members of the family did a terrific job organizing the reunion.
