To Dan's family: I am so sorry for your loss! What a tragedy to die of Covid, especially now. I remember Dan (we called him Danny) from grade school at St Johns. It's wonderful to read about him and know what a great career he had and that he raised four wonderful kids. Blessings and prayers to you all.

Margey, who knew that when we met at age 5 we would know each other all these years? I'm so thankful for all the friendship, especially in our St John's days. Have a delightful birthday. I gues you've finally joined the 73 club.

Wow! Just saw the tribute from Loretto Academy. So happy for your new life in retirement. Can't imagine what new things you will do -- with all that time.

Thinking of you today and the friendship we had in grade school. Glad you finally caught up to 73! It's quite a number. Post about your current life, please.

I attended grade school with Larry Dorsey. He was extremely quiet and shy, but he always seemed to know the answer to questions. I remember him as a great artist. On Presidents Day, our teacher was talking about Abraham Lincoln. Larry was doodling the whole time and created a wonderful pencil sketch of Lincoln. I remember being absolutely amazed at the likeness. He got into trouble for not paying attention and was sent to the cloak room for a while. My heart really hurt for him that day. Did he take his art talent and use it in his adult life? He was a sweet and gentle soul.

Jill, Hope you have a great birthday. I've enjoyed being 70 this year.

Still hoping you can join Chris Killough, Cyndi Deneson and me on a week in Branson, Mo September 15-22. We have accommodations. Let me know if you can come!

Hey,
Ann Marie happy birthday! We're getting up there, but I'm sure you're JUST 68. Right?
