Jill, Wow! Who among us would ever think we'd arrive at this time in our lives. The time passes so quickly, It seems impossible to believe. With your birthday coming up, I want to wish you all the best. Do you have children? It's embarassimg that after 50 years, I wouldn't know. I have two lovely daughters 30 and 28, the lights of my life. I still live in Sudburty, MA and still paint my own house and mow the lawn on my modest 17 room house. Life has been good. I never hear much about others. Larry Marcus was one of the only surprises. Do you have any news to share?.

Birthdays aren't such "big days" anymore and haven't been for some time. Still I hope this finds you well on your birthday as you recall some old friends and enjoy the day with the enthusiasm you've always had. Best wishes, Wayne

Hi Patti. I just saw that you signed in. Sorry to hear about Bob. I was also shocked to see that Larry is also no longer with us. You may be the best looking Class Secretary in the past 50 years!

Ralph was a fabulous Class Officer. His energy was boundless, a great friend, and a joy to be with. It will be great to see him at the reunion.

I had a crush on Mary for a long time. She was a hard worker whether at Friendlys or on campus. She had a nice way about her.
