I hope I am not the only person to respond to your request for information on the Gaines reunion in Palestine, Texas.
The reunion was held this year on 10-08-2011 at M.P. Gaines' home which is now owned by his grandson Bobby Gaines. I hope you had a chance to make it there.
My wife found your posting on 10-12-2011 then could not find it again. I just found your posting today 12-13-2002.
M.P. Gaines is my Great Grandfather. I am a desendant of M.P. Gaines second daughter from his second marriage.
As to whether there will be another reunion is unknown at this time. Just prior to this reunion Bobby Gaines indicated this would be the last one, but I understand that he was considering another reunion prior to the completion of this reunion.
Best Regards
Dennis Becker
