I am indebted to the following contributors: Betty Waters of Bloomfield NJ, Jeanne Waters Strong of Los Altos Hills CA, Bud Gurney of West Sutton MA, John Sakellaris of Seattle WA, Shelley Rae Dunkle (Sappington) of Columbia MD and Walter Nathan Waters 1869-1945.

Our principal Waters Reunion is Waters Farm Days held annually in Sutton MA (first weekend of October) at the city owned Waters Farm. This has grown to be like a county fair, attracting thousands of visitors.
