The family time capsule was finally sealed Sunday morning 7 October 2007, followed by a brunch of all the Flag Hill workers.  We missed you all, and thank you for submitting lots of good items in finely preserved manner.  The various family items were put in plastic buckets and sealed, then all the buckets were put in the large, deep vault and sealed against any dampness that may occur through the years.  It was a good ending to an exciting season of the Svihovecs. Hopefully the generations to come will keep family members enthused for the future. T he committee will plan ONE MORE MEETING in the spring of 2008, and then the younger generation will take over for the future.
