Successful 2026 Reunion was a Team Effort
Bravo!
And thank you to Judy Westcott Fregoe and Jessy Fregoe and to Paula Molnar and Tasha Molnar for organizing the 45th Biennial Westcott Family Reunion in Watertown, New York, from July 9 through 12.
The two powerful mother-daughter combos put on a joyful, fun-filled event with a great field trip to Westcott Beach and Sackets Harbor and gatherings on Friday and Saturday nights where cousins renewed friendships and met new kin.
And a tip of the hat to impresario Marshall Smith for introducing the society to the Westcott Jugsuckers Band who performed at the dinner on Friday evening. It was a hit.
