Family Circle
"Now this is The Law of the Jungle... as
old and as true as the sky;
And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must
die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the law runneth forward and back...
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf... and the strength of the Wolf
is the Pack!"
...R.J. Kipling
This page is a forum where any family member may share thoughts and opinions for the good and welfare of the family and/or community.
(Got something going on that you want
to let us know about? A memory from the past? A favorite family saying, poem or
recipe? A story you'd like to share? A question you'd like answered? This is the place for
it! Type it up on your Word Processor and attach it to an e-mail message to me. Remember,
this isn't MY web-site... it's yours!)
Web Masters' Memo:
March, 2010
"In like a lion... out like a lamb". That's what they say about March. I'll bet my relative in the East and South could say a few things about what they got, weather-wise, last month. Of course those of us in the Midwest are saying, "What... me worry?" personally I'm betting that march will be a lot less "lion like" this year.
I am still a little sore in the ribs from my slip and fall in January, but coming back. Still not up to my quota of walking but starting to hit the heavy bag a few times a week.

George Drake established a beautiful and fitting on-line Memorial to his Mother, Thajuana, that he sent me a link to and asked that I share it with the family. I encourage all of you to share thoughts and memories. Please see: http://tdrake.remembered-forever.org/tdrake/p/mem/
Thank you George, for sharing this with us.

Robert (Bobby) Burgess has a very talented Daughter ( no surprise to me, given her gene pool) and he sent me this. I immediately got his OK to post it on our site for you. Crank up your sound for this one and please go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS-wd8t4WEw .
While you're looking at links, don't forget to have a look on our Family Enterprise page and see what some of your kin are doing!

Some of you learn about our Family Reunions from your Parents or siblings. This is fine if you're a minor and still at home. If you're an adult you need to be on the mail list. If you didn't personally get mail from Brinsen and Chris regarding the 2010 Family Reunion it means WE DON'T HAVE YOUR ADDRESS on file!!!
Our hard working Hosts have ALREADY received MAIL RETURNS with no forwarding addresses from some of you. You KNOW who you are! Now, will you PLEASE e-mail me your address (mauricewynn@netscape.net) so I can forward it to the host family or do I have to get ugly about this and start naming names?!?!
********
If you look at our Warriors page and know of any of our family serving currently or who have served please get info to me right away. Anyone that I don't show is because I don't know!

I strongly suggest you go through EVERYTHING... I honestly can't keep up with the changes!!
These are just a few.
I've been coming across so many old photos (and could always use more) that I added a page called "Oldies" to put them on.

Since starting this web-site I've had many "Wynn's" sign the Guest Book on our home page and/or contact me via e-mail hoping to find their roots. Although I can't find a common ancestor that I know of in our family for most of them it seems that some of them may be connected to one another. I will try to organize a page, the "Wynn Mill", that may help some searchers locate "Wayward Wynn's".
In July, 2004 we launched the second phase of the site, (no... the first phase is nowhere near finished!), which involves linking info and photos of spouses of Wynn descendants and their families. It never really got off the ground. (I could use some help here!) Hopefully this will give future generations help in tracing their lineage. Once again... my greatest source of information is YOU!
Did you know that...
"You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one
person!"

Poet's Corner
Got a poem YOU wrote? Send it in and we'll put it here. This little corner is for original work from the family.
An Ode to a Sword
By
A scabbard hewn of hardened wood,
A blade of tempered steel.
A purpose that is understood
A balance you can feel.
A cold and glistening thing of death,
That whispers through the air.
A sharpness that can still your breath,
A blade that's honed with care.
A hilt contoured to match your grip,
A tool, no more... no less.
Now such a thing I once did wield,
And always will possess.
Though now I loathe to count the souls,
That blade has lain to rest.
A Reunion Tribute
by
Welcome aboard the Wynn Love Fountain
Gathering this time in Pine Mountain.
We're here on behalf of Douglas Bernard
(Little did he know the prep was so hard).
The planning, the calling, the preparatory whirlin'
Was coordinated by the entire family of Virlyn.
This reunion was particularly fun.
Boy did we have the kids on the run.
Ponies, basketball and bumper cars,
With GC's driving we're lucky there's no scars.
The adults played checkers, whist and some chess
In the latter game I was the best.
Yes we can have fun because of our predecessor's labor of love
Because they understood what life's really made of.
We are most thankful that Jesus divined us
with consumerate originals -
From "D. J." to "Primus".
And our new generation will serve us well,
From their smiles and bright eyes i can tell!
Brianna, Nia, Cameron, BJ
Jaden, Ebun, Candace, DJ.
Fortunate indeed are us
We cannot say enough about Taurus
For he is oh so special too.
From all of us we say "I love you". (Sign language)
Where will we be next/ We know fo' sho'
Off we go, in a family row, to enjoy Orlando.
So until then, I have one admonition
Hold your head high and pursue your ambition
And stay aboard the Wynn Express
Because we truly are the best.

If your name is "Wynn" and/or you think you have a "connection" with our family, please be sure to let us know when you sign our Guest Book near the bottom of the home page.
It is our hope that this site will help us and our
progeny remember who we are, where we came from, where we are headed and more
importantly give us the means to keep in contact with one another and watch our family
grow!
There WILL be errors, oversights and unintentional omissions as we are pulling things together. Bear with us. You can help by QUICKLY letting us know about our errors. We intend to include everyone that we can find in our gene-pool on this site... but we can't do it without your help!
