In 1970 Volume 2 with 3 issues was published. It didn't take long for us to grow and soon a decision was made to create a formal organization. We first agreed to identify ourselves as the Pennington Research Association in 1979 at our meeting in Wichita, Kansas. We incorporated in 2001.<br>To read a Memorial of Bee Holmes and published in the Pennington Pedigrees, Volume 23, No. 2, 1991, visit http://www.penningtonresearch.org/About_Us and scroll to the paragraph at the end of the 1st section. | *Bee Holmes started the Pennington Research Association in 1965 by collecting and sharing information about the Pennington family.
