John and Dolly's children, are the foundation of today's Bland Clan. The offspring of John, Alice and Arbrie are the heart of the Bland Clan today.
The first Bland Clan reunion was held in Texarkana in 1980.
It consisted of about 50 of John's children and grandchildren.
The reunion has grown over the last 34 years and now there are more than 130 people that attend each year.
This year's reunion will be July 10,11 and 12th in Dallas, Tx.
