Altogether, there were 42 attendees at the family reunion, consisting of four generations headed by matriarch Flora M. Duncan, her 5 children, her grandchildren, and her great grandchildren. For the purpose of organizing the photos taken at the reunion, it was decided to categorize the pictures under 12 married heads of family, consisting of Flora herself, along with her married children, and her married grandchildren.

When the pictures are organized by head-of-family, there are 203 pictures total, with some repetitions due to some people belonging to more than one family group. An example would be Taylor Miles Duncan, who belongs to both the Flora Duncan Family and stands at the head of his own family. Thus there may be some repetitions of the same picture in multiple families. A sincere effort was made to ensure there was at least one picture of every person who participated in the family reunion activities.

All pictures were taken without the use of flash using natural ambient room lighting. By avoiding use of the flash, there was no red eye in any pictures, and no glare from flash reflections off of glass windows, or off of shiny mirrors. With few exceptions (less than 10), there was no photographic touchup on the pictures. What the pictures show is what the camera took. The few exceptions of pictures needing touchup consisted of photos where eyes were shut, and a few instances where light levels of faces were brightened. Photographer volunteer, Warren Taylor, used the low-light mode of the Canon PowerShot S95 digital camera to take the pictures. The 28-mm wide angle lens allowed taking group photos in small rooms with limited space.

Special thanks are due to Flora Duncan and Esther Duncan --- who donated condominium rooms, who organized the allocation of rooms to guests, who helped make assignments for food and snacks, who arranged the schedule of activities, and who coordinated the many details involved with condominium check-in and check-out.
