The first GREAT Hyde Fam Reunion in bullets...


  • Golf Scramble
    • Don and Penny played and reportedly had FUN!!!  Believe it!
    • Don wore tennis shoes!  I didn't know he owned any.
    • Allegedly, Don outdrove Zack on multiple occasions.
    • Penny contributed more than a dozen shots to her team!
    • Team Mardie won the overall championship with a 75, with Team T coming in with a close and very respectable score for 2nd place.
    • Newcomer of the year:  Penny!
    • Closest to the Pin:  Danny B - He also made the long putt for BIRDIE!
    • Longest Putt: Traci
    • Best Teamwork:  Team Rick
    • Note:  Overall, I think this was a huge success.  It sounded like all had fun and many folks new to golf got a great taste to the greatest game ever.
  • Fishing
    • Awesome!  What a great and appropriate way to rekindle such wonderful memories of floating the river with the Captain.
    • Monster Fish for the newlyweds.
    • Sunburns for everyone.
    • Snags abound... personally, I got pretty dang good at those knots!
    • Late night floating in the dark to make things interesting.
  • Zack Returning Home
    • Perfect, emotional welcome home at the airport! Tracy's face said it all, check the vids and pics.
    • Awesome homecoming meeting at church.  Quite possibly the best homecoming talk by an RM I've ever witnessed.  Obviously Zack served diligently bringing honor to the Excell/Hyde family.  GREAT JOB ZACK and thanks for your inspiring example!
  • Food
    • I'm still feeling "chubby tired".  I think that has to do with the lack of sleep as well, but the food was phenomenal.
    • Enough left overs to feed a small country.
    • Late night meat smoking.
    • Pulled Pork extravaganza!
    • Crazy-good soup buffet!
    • Oh My!  Those muffins and breakfast casserole!
    • Way over the top, extra-mile, typical Hyde-sister, way of doing things.
  • Overall, thanks to everyone for such a great time!  I think we created memories that will last forever and only build on itself in the years to come.
