Page updated on 17 August 2001

Several Choquette, from everywhere in Canada and United States expressed their enthusiasm following the announcement of the 2002 Choquet/Choquette Reunion. Here are some excerpts:

Wonderful! I'll put the dates on my calendar. My family of three will attend and hopefully I'll convince my parents in California to come as well. Thank you so much for organizing this. We'll start brushing up on our french right away, hopefully though we'll have expert translators!
Steven Choquette, Gaithersburg, Maryland

I love the concept. I just spoke to my mother about this, and though it far too early to commit, we are definetly interested in attending. You can add Massachusetts to your line up.
Peter Choquette, Indian Orchard, Massachusetts

The idea of a Reunion is wonderful. I remember a weekend in 1965 when my parents participated in the 300th Anniversary, organized by my great-uncle, father Elisee Choquet. I was only 6 years old at the time but this event generated hundreds of conversations in our family during the following years. The event which we, the children, lived via my parent's accounts, gave us a very strong feeling of identification to our name and the taste of our history. It would be magnificent to be able to offer this experience to my children. (translated from French)
Michel Choquette, Gatineau, Quebec

Thank you very much for organizing this Reunion. Our family will be there! (translated from French)
Louise Choquette, Hunstville, Ontario

My great-uncle, father Elisee Choquet, was one of the organizers of the last 300th anniversary of Nicolas Choquette's arrival. I was seven years old then, and I so wanted to be there! However, children were not invited. I was determined to live until 107 years so that I could attend the next Reunion! It's a pleasure to learn that I won't have to wait such a long time. (translated from French)
Sandra Choquette, Ottawa, Ontario

I find the project not only to be an excellent idea, but also very exciting! What a fantastic initiative Mrs Choquette. I shall do my best to attend. I wouldn't want to miss this! (translated from French)
Dominique Choquet, Grand Prairie, Texas, USA

I am very excited to hear about your plans for a Choquet-te family reunion. My family is definitely planning to attend. A couple of years ago, I tried to locate the Choquet monument, but was unsuccessful.
Kent and Lori Choquette, Urbana, Illinois, USA

This sounds like it's going to be a really fantastic event, and we would love to attend, but will have to wait and see how things go. We have been planning a trip to Canada for years to visit our ancestors old stomping grounds, maybe this will be the year to go.
