Sorry I won't be able to make the picnic. Was hoping to go to the Mass and tour of the high school. I have a son in Missouri in need of some help with my two grandchildren down there during that time. Blessings to all of you. I remember our years at Shrine fondly. Sodality was one of the wonderful experiences I lived in my spiritual life. The summer school of Catholic action was great. My faith became even stronger because of it that year. We had a great time and met such wonderful people. Choir was great. Remember walking around that great altar with our robes singing such wonderful hymns. Sr. Moira got Chris Snow and I to learn to play the cello in the orchestra. What a hoot. It was and is a great instrument except when I had to carry it back and forth from home to school. We're living just south of Ann Arbor and attend the Michigan Football games with our youngest twin sons. GO BLUE! The first game is this weekend. Hope to see some of you there. Ha!Ha!. Will write more when I think of it. God bless you all, Marianne

I always wondered where you were. I missed you and our crazy times together. Sorry I can't make the reunion. Son in Missouri is in need of some help that week. Bless you for your post. Saw some Chevies like yours on Woodward at the cruise this year.

Can't believe it's been 50 yrs. I am so glad that so many of you keep in touch with me. I live just south of Ann Arbor. GO BLUE! Have been married 48 yrs and have 5 chiidren and grandchildren. Blessings to all my Shrine buddies!
