2015 Reunion Report

What fun we had! 62 descendants, family, and friends met in Alexandria, LA for the Ninth Biennial Reunion of the Rev. Pierre Robert Family Association. The beautiful, historic Hotel Bentley served as our primary meeting place but also we ventured to Loyd Hall and Greenwood Plantation in Cheneyville, LA and to the Campbell home in Moncla, LA. We made new friends, elected new officers, and learned a bit more about our rich heritage. Thank you to all you attended and made it such a special time.

We hope to be able to distribute CDs of the association's business meeting and keynote address of Dr. Dana Robert. Please contact us if you are interested in purchasing one of the CDs. There will be a nominal fee to cover production and mailing.

If you have any news you want us to post on this site, please send us a message or post it yourself on our new Facebook page - Robert Family Association.
