Hi Claire! We sure missed you at the reunion festivities! Hope your trip with your husband was a fun one! We were small, but we had a wonderful time talking and laughing at old times and just enjoying each others stories! Much easier to spend time with each and everyone of those attending, actually getting to know some more than I ever had before! Fun, Fun, Fun! Hope you can make it to the next event....whenever that is!!! Watch the website!!!
