Hi Jimmy! Glad you gave us an update about your family. My career was in MiS also and at 82 I love surprising my peers with my love of the internet! Say hi to Milly for me! Sally

We have shared a lot of info the past few years.....more than when were kids so how did I miss that I became a gramma on your birthday!! July 22 is my oldest grand child's birthday too. Hope yours was wonderful....82 has been good to me so far.
Oh my this really makes me sad! Even though Posey and I were not close friends in high school, our paths crossed in friendly ways. But I got to know her better when we both worked on the reunions especially the 50th and just like when Eric Engberg passed, my heart broke then too as it makes me so aware of how nothing will ever be the same again without the same organizing, wonderful committee members. Condolences to her family, of which I am very envious with all those great grand children… I may have had the first baby after we graduated..(exactly 9 months after graduation I have to admit) but yet today, I have 4 talented, smart adult wonderful grandchildren, but no great grandchildren. (By choice as it is a different world today).
Update 2023. Moved again now I live in a new half of a duplex in Apache Junction, Arizona with beautiful views of the superstition mountains. I have one cat left of the three I rescued and hope she lives as long as I do I play the piano 1 to 3 hours a day, and it is my absolute favorite thing to do in my old age keeps my mind active And smart. Since Covid hit, I rarely go out socially. I have my groceries delivered to my door and I get my prescriptions through mail and that is fine with me. I have good neighbors, good friends, one daughter, lives 5 miles to the east of me, and one lives 10 miles to the west of me . all four of my grown grandchildren are still single no children but all live in Arizona although my one granddaughter is a traveling chef.
Michael that is so funny and I knew Larry very well in fact I actually dated him a little bit and he really was a nice guy and that tough guy act I think was kind of put on but that's cute to see how protective he was they had a very big family.
I met Betty in our freshman session and it was an immediate connection that lasted throughout the years. For four years we socialized, laughed, gossiped and enjoyed talking about our boyfriends together. After that we both became young married mothers and stayed in touch for many years and then sort of drifted away as life takes us to different areas. What I always marveled at Was how the connection was instantaneously revived no matter how many years had gone by. It was like we had just been out at Hal's drive-in the night before or cruising Highwood in my 1956 blue and white station wagon, when it was indeed 20 years! No one ever made me laugh or smile as much as Betty. One in 1 million!
Thank you so much for the encouraging and comforting remarks. I joined a support group on FB for women with pacemakers and find that helpful too! If I had my own house I would probably have 5 cats too but I'm in an apartment 2 is max But I sure love them.
