NEWs: As of this post in May 2019, We have not had much activity from the website recently. This format of the website is no longer being supported by the location it is published so we will need to redo the site or decide if it is worth the cost of keeping it up. I am not receiving photos from the reunions nor any other information to post. Send comments or info to Debau92@sbcglobal.netThe New Galley History Book"The Galli Galle' Galley Family History Book" We have a limited number of copies of the new history book left and are not planning on a reprinting anytime soon. If you need one please contact Deborah Walsh at Debau92@sbcglobal.net. The book is $15 plus shipping and packing materials, an estimated $6.00 more ($21 total). This is a great price since the family offset the cost to it's members. The book is the size of an encyclopedia.
Corrections or AdditionsAny corrections, updates such as births, deaths, and marriages should be sent to Deb Walsh at Debau92@sbcgobal.net Please include the county and state information as well. If you change your address please send that information to Crystal Theys at cltkoala@hotmail.com
Notice for the 119th Galley Reunion to come
The 118th Galley Family ReunionWe had a really great time at the reunion this year which was held at Twin Lakes Park in Greensburg, with a beautiful view over-looking the mountains. The reunion was held on Saturday Aug 8th and there were 53 family members present. President Chris They's and Crissy Theys, who has been doing the secretary job for the empty position, welcomed everyone to the reunion. Warren and Robin Galley helped set up and clean up, working hard to make our day enjoyable. Thank all of you for your work and dedication to the family. We were delighted to have a wonderful catered meal at noon. It was put on by Harsh's Catering Co. from Blairsville, Pa. We enjoyed roast beef, chicken, and a variety of side dishes including a delicious scalloped potato dish! The family provided an assortment of desserts so no one left hungry!. A short meeting was held to read the minutes from last year (by Crissy Theys) and a financial report for the History Book Fund given by Deborah Walsh. We also discussed the idea of putting some of the old home movies (8MM) film onto CD to sell to anyone interested. We have some of the old films but are missing film reels taken by Karl Y. Galley. They were given to some family member but we cannot locate them at present. If you have any information on the where abouts of these film canasters, please contact Deborah Walsh or the Theys family. Chris Theys was going to research the project and get a price. Everyone was in favor of this idea. New births this year were: Leah Arietta DeKonick b. Sept 27,2014 daughter of Tim &
Stacey (Galley)DeKonick of the David Branch
Deaths this year were: Edgar (Gene) Cunningham who died Aug 5,2015 at age 90. The family could not attend the reunion due to the recent death of Gene. He was of the David branch. August Diamond died Nov 1,2013 in Smithfield, Pa. He was of the Jonathan branch Jane Jones of the Elizabeth Branch died in Winter Park Florida but we did not have a date.
We had a 50/50 which brought in $88 for the family and we raffled off baskets and raised $200. There was also a VERY lively white elephant auction led by Bill Galley. Bill does a great job of getting some high prices for these items! Later we discussed offered a meeting for GGA (Galley Gamblers annonymous) after all the money raising events!!! Ha ha ha Thanks to all who made baskets and helped us raise the money. We were blessed to have some first time visitors with us as well. Bill & Linda Malstrom (see photo's below) came all the way from Sunnyvale CA. Linda is of the Jonathan Galley lines and she kept telling Bill she had never been to a reunion and wasn't getting any younger! Bill surprised her with airline tickets to Pa, a planned trip to visit good friends in Lancaster, and a trip to the Galley family reunion in Greensburg. We enjoyed getting to know them and they were delighted to be there. Bill Malstrom was the oldest member present at age 78 an they won the prize for traveling the furthest. We hope they will come back again someday!!! We also had 7 members join us from the Elizabeth branch (see photo's below). On behalf of the family, thank you very much Chris & Crissy Theys and Robin & Butch Galley for all you do to host the reunion. The family appreciates it very much. You have been loyal and work very hard to keep these family reunions going. Thanks Crissy for performing the Secretary duties when no one else will volunteer.
