Here is a recent update of Tolbert news:
Scott and Tiffany had
a great wedding on August 9th 2008. The Tolbert's had a great time, and were the life of the party! See their wedding
page for pictures. Scott seems to work "out of town" quite often. No truth to the rumor that he
has 5 families throughout the country. Drew Tolbert graduated from
Northwestern University. He has already produced a play, and has had his name up in lights. I hope he just
remembers us little people when he becomes famous. Carey Tolbert was married in May 2011. Congratulations Carey
and the new Mrs. Tolbert. Tommy & Odelia Tolbert are proud to announce the arrival of
Maverick Michael Tolbert. He was delivered at 11:07 PM Februrary 20, 2008. Both baby & mother are doing fine.
6 lb. 1 oz. 20" April
3rd 2010, Callie had a baby boy named Jackson.- In other news, Tracy Tolbert and
her longtime boyfriend Mike, have tied the knot on September 6th 2008. The wedding was not just an event, it was a whole
weekend! Tom was a great host in his new home on the James River. The new place got it's initiation by holding 10 or
12 Tolbert's from out of town, 5 or 6 local Tolbert's and even 4 or 5 of us who were there for the wedding , but stayed in
a local B&B. Tom's place has it's own dock, boat and can double as a bathroom if you time the tide right. Plenty
of Tolberts were overheard planning their family vactions at Tom's new place. No one has spoke to Tom yet, but that
is a mere detail compared to the family favorite "pop-in". See the wedding pages for great photos of the wedding
weekend in Smithfield, VA.
Jessica and Hilarie both had new babies in April 2011. Congratulations to all the new
parents and newlyweds!More Tolbert news:
The Tolbert 2010 reunion was a big success!! The schedule included; bowling,
a bonfire, Pirate game, a mass at Sacred Heart in the name of James W. Tolbert Sr. and Loretta Fay Marszalek. The Sunday picnic
had good weather, with a bouncy machine and "White Elephant" auction. The food was very good, and everyone seemed
to be having a good time.
Dan is now living in Rochester, PA. after
serving 20+ years in the U.S. Navy and currently lives 2 miles from Maryanne- what a shocker! Sheri has accepted a position for the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The position involves moving to D.C., training, backround checks (gulp), and then she will be sent to a foreign country where
she will represent the United States in a position for the Agriculture Depratment. Wow!! Way to go Sheri!! Jamie Tolbert
has moved to Brooklyn, NY He was given a big promotion , and is now someone who gets to order other people around in a NYC
museum. Way to go Jamie!!. Jeff Cahill graduated from Pitt, and is now
in the IT department of Delmonte (owned by Heinz). Free relish for everyone !! Callie
Cahill Graduated from Chatham College in April of 2007, with a BS degree in Social Work. !!
Kortney Marszalek started college at Gannon University in the Fall of 2006, rumor
is she is majoring in Biology- a doctor in the family? She says "no", and is currently applying to graduate
programs around Penna. Kortney graduated in the Spring of 2009, but is not resting with that. Kortney went to go to
Africa to assist in medical relief. The York house of Rochester, PA. and Tolbert B&B
of Chesterfield, VA. have recently begun an exchange program for all guests. See concierge for details.
Mom / Grandma's surprised birthday party was a smash! The dinner was nice, and the Buco's managed to
pull off a win for the Tolbert family matriarch. She was actually surprised. John and Berni went
to Ireland for 2 weeks in March/April. (see pics) Erin go Braugh!
The 2007 reunion
was a BIG hit!!! The bowling and bonfire had the biggest turnouts. Going against tradition, we did not have a human sacrifice
at the bonfire this year. Ben-jamin repeatedly offered his girlfriend for the 2010 reunion's sacrifice. The picnic, as always,
was the biggest event of the entire reunion. For 2007, we used a pavillion at the "Avonworth Community Park" aka
the Midnight Hour The location seemed to bring back memories for the Tolbert's. Joan Madden had several Pavlovian
responses, and screamed "crank it up!!" while standing on a chair, everytime the magician turned on
his music. The magician was fun, and a great addition for the kids. Sheri Lynn, Joey, Kortney and Jim M. attempted to test
their significant other by bringing them to the reunion with promises that "it's just a few family members..really, it's
no big deal" On a serious note; Much planning and team effort went into pulling off a great reunion. Good
job, and a big THANK YOU to all that helped and attended. Marty had a big Las Vegas 50th birthday celebration.
