Well, we did it, thanks to all of you!

 

For those of you who were able to attend, it was a "blast from the past". And a special shout out to all of those classmates who traveled from out of town to be with us, especially Sister Mona. THANK YOU!

For those who were unable to join us, although you were with us in spirit, we missed you.

The web site will be up until the end of the year. Feel free to use it to communicate with your classmates.
