The Jack Summerall Family gathering was featured in Ebony Magazine September 2007 edition, page 198.When Wally Burgess was serving as the President, he said that the family needed to be recognized for its continuous meeting over the years. At the time we were approaching our 50th year gathering. No one had heard of a family that had been meeting that many years in succession. Then Vice-President Herman Stevens Jr. was given the task to write to Ebony, Jet, and Oprah. Letters were written to Ebony and Jet and Oprah was e-mailed because you can't write her. A year later, Ebony called and wanted to feature the family.
Thank God for giving Wally Burgess the vision.
