FAMILY BLOG

At this year's reunion, instead of announcing accomplishments during the banquet, we'd like to have a written collection of everyone's achievements as well as family memories. 

​

Printouts of everything shared here will be provided at the banquet.

FAMILY PHOTO ALBUMS

At the 2007 Shute Family Reunion, we created a family slideshow filled with priceless snapshots of family memories. However, it has not been updated since that time.

​

We want to extend an invitation to all to submit pictures new and old of Shute family memories.

​

Please use this link to upload your photos. Feel free to write about the memory in the description
