From President & Sister Fotheringham:
Dear Elders and Sisters:
Heartfelt thanks to all you were able to come. For all of us, to see old companions, friends and fellow missionaries; to see Brother McCaw's DVDs filled with memories; to watch Elder Peterson's hilarious compilation of CCSM's funniest missionary videos; to appreciate the scrapbooks and photos compiled by the senior missionaries in the office; and to sing "Praise to the Man" and "Come Thou Fount" with Elder Truman at the piano made for a memorable evening. It was a chance to turn back the clock and enjoy some sweet feelings, times and experiences that helped to shape who we are. It was an especial treat to see the sisters each walk in. For Sister Fotheringham and me, it touched us deeply to once again see and be with the people who blessed our lives with their love and consecrations to the Lord.
We will download photos on Facebook once we can figure out how. In the meantime, FYI, here is a partial list of those who came (not everyone signed in, and also we didn't get all the names of several wives and friends, for which we apologize up front):

This list is not complete; if you were there write and tell us who we have missed with this listing. We selfishly wished we could have spent quality time with each missionary, but we will simply have to feed off the energy they left for another six months. Hope you can make the next reunion at April General Conference.
Love, President and Sister Fotheringham
