The Boyd Family Reunion was held in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, on April 5, 2008, at Perkins Restaurant where everyone enjoyed a catfish buffet lunch.
Most everyone in attendance spoke about who they were and how they were related. Among memorable things were the accomplishments of David and Inez's prodigy to life in America. From their humble beginnings in Clay County, Arkansas, generations have gone on to make contributions and earn recognition. A few of those mentioned that day were:
1. Del was decorated for service in WWII and remains eligible for a Purple Heart
2. Steve King (Hannah's 2nd) was awarded a Bronze Star for contributions to Desert Storm
3. Several teachers and coaches - educating multiple generations of kids
4. Farmers - providing food and other crops for consumption
5. Impressive musical talents that continue to bring joy. These include Dema Smith (Novell's eldest), Hannah (Dathel's youngest), Steve King, Christy Cracchiolo (Hannah's youngest), Janice Moore-Baxter (Novell's youngest), Beverly Boyd-Maguire (Del's youngest).
