Dear Classmates,
After nearly a year of anticipating the reunion, I am not going to be able to attend. I am very disappointed as I really looked forward to seeing many of you. I have truly enjoyed reading profiles and I’ve appreciated the range of creative and good works that so many of you are engaged in. The Class of '69 really does shine on!
My dad passed away last week and I have traveled to Florida, not only to lay my dad to rest, but to help my mom with all of the many final and financial details. There is much to do and I also need to get back to California quickly to work with my agency and employees to prepare for the doomsday of events that are set take place in the next few weeks which will significantly affect our lower income elderly and disabled population.
I know that this will be a once in a life time event, making it all the sadder to miss. I want to commend those of you who have taken on leadership and organizing roles, and everyone who have shared their stories on the site. I look forward to hearing stories and seeing photos of the weekend. And I hope that I will receive my memory book!
I also want to acknowledge this website for putting me in touch with classmate Rick Greene and his wife, Debby, who have been tremendous supports to me during my many recent trips to Sarasota while my dad was ill.
Best wishes to all. I will be with you in spirit.
Francie
