A fun night at the Elks for our 50TH High School Reunion! Nice to see everyone. I think I spoke with everyone! Thanks to Stephanie and Cathy for putting this all together.
Thanks to Mark Butler and Ray Crosier for the music! Chris Harrington sang such a great song too! Nice dinner and desert! Wonderful Bar and the service was amazing! I’ll add a few photos here.
A big thanks to my friend Marian Peirce Cassidy, who picked me up in Buffalo and we drove to Bennington. Such a great time talking about everything. Thanks for picking me up at my sister’s for the get togethers and a beautiful walk! Hope to see many of you again, as I come to Bennington yearly. Peace , Pam

Hi Susie
My sister Bonnie told me she saw you at your Mom’s service. She lived a good life!
I also hear you will be at the 50th Class Reunion! Me too! Look forward to seeing you.
Take care. As a Hospice nurse I have collected some poems: Here is my favorite!
Late Fragment” by Raymond Carver (Washington Poet)

And did you get what?you wanted from this life, even so??I did.?And what did you want??To call myself beloved, to feel myself?beloved on the earth.
