"When I saw Page Warden in Williamsburg, I didn't know her, but somehow I sensed we were related. She was tall, beautiful and carried herself like she knew who she was and was proud of it. She reminded me of my mother, who died prematurely 10 years ago. I spoke to her, and we sat down, then spent the remaining days of the reunion hanging out like we'd know each other forever."--John Durst

"I enjoyed all of the events at our meeting. It's difficult to pick the highlights. However, one of the most memorable times was Carter Hudgins presentation on the "Archeological Reconstruction of Corotoman." As a history buff, I felt that it was packed with information and insights into the life of the times and Robert Carter. Hudgins relaxed and informal style made his speech extra special. I hope I get to meet him again in the future."--Rand Carter

"The visit to the Nelson House was outstanding. Page Warden's comments on "What's in a Name?" were very special."--Patty Carter

And Rand and Patty Carter agree: "The opportunity to spend time with Carter cousins is always terrific."

"My favorite stop was Toddsbury because of our gracious hosts, the marvelous setting (surrounded by water on three sides), and the way it was lovingly maintained and seemed steeped in Carter history."--Christine Lurk

"A well-earned 'Thanks' go to our TCS 2007 Reunion Committee. Excellent programs and speakers, great hand-outs and opportunities to compare our genealogies (Thanks, Teddie!) and re-connect with Carter cousins, and a fresh look at both new and familiar Carter-related sites and venues. This year's reunion far exceeded all of my expectations. "--Nicholas Smith

"Good tours, great programs, good food, but most importantly, great cousins."--Ron K. Carter

"My first but it won't be my last."--Karen Carter

"My fondest recollection was meeting and being with all my new friends - Carter relatives - who are so interested in family history and who have done such good research."--Lloyd Smith

"I was impressed with the fact that our group includes octogenarians amongst our membership that can keep us enthralled and entertained with their vast knowledge of family genealogy and entertaining style of presentation. I won't mention their names in case they don't want anyone to know how old they are, but anyway we all suspect who they are."--Bob Lumsden

"I loved everything ! I really did enjoy visiting Yorktown. It was my first visit to the town. I had only been to the battlefield before, and of course I loved having Page Warden with us ! She was the icing on the cake !!!!"--Betsy Carter

"Seeing the awesome remains of Rosewell and being able to imagine the enormity and grandeur of this early colonial Virginia home was simply overwhelming.....how lucky we are to have the chance to see, touch and enjoy the same historic beauty as our ancestors !"--Fay Parrish Wade

"My favorite moments of the Carter 2007 Reunion were just being with my beloved cousins again and exchanging our information, and finally getting Page Warden (my loooong-time dear friend and distant cousin) to be a part of our group and already a big hit, and I'll have to add working with everyone to plan and execute the reunion!"--Margaret Gunn

"Needless to say the DOG [an overly generous one out at the Fairfield excavation] was what came to my mind first thing...WHEN has one felt so ‘marked’ ??? Then I was so impressed with the LONGGGG family tree brought by Lew Toulmin. I do not recall having seen one formatted like that. Lastly, I felt that the committee had done an excellent job with the programs (both the physical booklet as well as the decisions for the entire weekend) as well as planning for the various sites we visited, for there was no ‘downtime’ that I recall. ‘LOVERLY" MEMORIES’"--Martha Kirby

"For me, the Rosewell ruin, with its towering brick walls, was magnificent, but more impressive still was the story of Fairfield and its excavation, as enthusiastically and knowledgeably retold by archaeologists Dave and Thane. It was their vision of the view backwards that made the difference." --Christine Lurk

"I have had many reflections with my experience. At Fairfield, I reflected on this being the home of my 8th great grandfather, Lewis Burwell I. Needless-to-say, I tried to get a sense of what family life might have been--hopefully we will know more in the future. I am also a direct descendent of Benjamin Harrison IV, who married Anne Carter, as well as John Carter, her grandfather, and the "King." Maybe we can do Berkeley another time."--William Rianhard
