There were 9 Hodel siblings from Saskatchewan Canada: Anna, Regina, John, Ida, Fred, Henry, Bill, Emma, Ed.
Five of them – Ida, John, Fred, Bill, and Ed – moved to California in the 20s/30s/40s, all started egg-producing chicken ranches in Rio Linda. Today we gathered together as many Hodel family members as we could at Phyl and Dave’s house.
At right, Herb Posehn, 90 years old from Gig Harbor WA, the only surviving son of Ida.Dave studiously watched the tri-tips on the grill, no flames allowed!

Thank you Phyl for additional pictures. What a great time! In the future, we talked about a big group going to PBR in Jan, and another reunion a year from now! Fingers crossed for more get-togethers.
