We, The Harris-Burrus Family Reunion Planning Team 2016, welcome you to the H-B website which will be utilized to keep you abreast of what is happening regarding our 2016 Reunion.
Please be assured that we are "off and running" and making arrangements to host a great and memorable reunion in Upstate New York.
The Planning Team is co-chaired by two hardworking sisters (Gladys Burrus Tillman & Lillian Burrus Norman), both of whom are retired educators/administrators of the Rochester City School District. This means they do have "a little" time on their hands, time they are happy to devote to planning the H-B Reunion. They are joined in this effort by their immediate families, extended Rochester family, and family members who are former Rochesterians.
