Please keep Stephanie Faulkner and family in your prayers. I have found out that her father, John, has a fast growing brain cancer.

I'm sorry to say to everyone that I won't in fact be able to make it to the reunion.

My mom - and if you remember her, you know her - was hospitalized 3 weeks ago. She was still living on Pinecroft Dr in Okolona. As always, she was fiercely independent, if not a little touched, and diabetes and heart disease are, as they say, a bitch. She had to have her left foot amputated and suffered heart and kidney failure.

Believe it or not, she's still kickin', and she's at a Highlands nursing and rehab facility. After she checked in from being in UL ICU for 2.5 weeks on a ventilator, she called the prosthetic guy right after getting off her first access to phone to me and my mema to ask when he could come see her for a fitting. (I hope I have at least those genes).

That being said, I was back in Louisville for an emergency visit when she went to ICU, I'll be back in a few weeks to deal with the rehab facility, and then I need to be back post the reunion for her guardianship hearing.

The timing then isn't going to work out for the exact date of the reunion. However, I would love to get with who is available for one of the two times I will be in Louisville over the next few weeks. Anyone up for Sat 4/3 or Fri 5/22?

AND, I want pictures from the reunion.

Jeff,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I will be sure to add the both of you to my prayers. It was such a trip talking to her when trying to contact you. I was saving some of your childhood stories she shared for happy hour at the reunion:-) I'll watch the news, because I'm sure there'll be some amputee marathon she'll enter! I am sorry you cannot attend the reunion. I am not sure if you would rather just meet with the guys, but I will make myself available either of those dates if you meet up with anyone.

Jeff,

I am also sorry to hear about your Mom but it sounds like she has an unbreakable spirit and won't let these issues get her down. I will keep her in my prayers.

I could meet either of those dates as well. Susan and I have gotten together about 3 times now and have had a great time but we can't seem to get anyone else to join us. Maybe they are all just saving the excitement for the reunion!

Jeff, Sorry to hear about your mom. Sounds like she has the right stuff though. I'll keep a candle lit and rattle a bead or two.

Hey Jeff,

Just wondering if you were still coming into town tonight. Don't know if you are meeting up with anyone else tonight, but Lori K, Laura R, and I are open to meeting you and anyone else out for dinner/drinks tonight.

We were in and out quickly this past weekend (4/3-4) and our schedule didn't permit us getting together. Mom took a turn and we spent a lot of time at Baptist East re kidneys. Thanks Susan, Lori and Laura for the offer to get together.

BTW, 21C is a death trap. We got locked in our room (the electronic door locks jammed). I also had food poured on me at Proof by the waiter. After they "lost" our car at the valet the morning we needed to get to the airport, I thought for a moment it was because of me, but then I realized incompetence is worldwide.

The fire marshall is getting a sternly written missive from out of state now that we're back safe and sound.

We'll be back in May. I'm going with a DC based chain - Marriott.

Susan Bumann (Bumann-Riehl)

It was all our secret attempt to keep you here in Louisville...thanks for the leak on the Marriott. I'll hire a more sophisticated team this time!

Laura Ray (Lauzon)

Thanks guys for the night out!! It was great to get together. I wish that I was childless more often. I can not wait until May. I have been so busy it will be nice to sit, chill, and talk with everyone again.

Hey Susan, I know Traci Buschman.She and I were really good friends. She and I were the "public school kids" She never went to St. Rita school, just the church.

Well as usual I got over 500 hours of vacation time built up and can't seem to be able to use it... Work is work but sorry to say I won't be able to make it to the reunion... Going to attempt to get up to Louisville (AGAIN) some time in August (before school starts).. I really would like to see everybody and catch up. Will let you guys know on the date and maybe I will be able to get a couple of drinks somewhere when I get up there..

Take care and have a GREAT time at the reunion and a big thanks to Susan for putting all this together

Todd

I'm in town May 21 and 22...so if people haven't had too much reunionisms, how about the Louisville Marriot (new) Blu Bar for drinks either night?

Jeff, in case no one checks this forum again before the reunion on Saturday, I will announce at the reunion that you will be in town the 21st and 22nd and would like to meet up with anyone interested.

Thanks Susan!

Good luck everybody at the reunion! Really wish I could be there! Here's hoping that you guys have such a good time you'll want to redo it again next Thursday!!!

We'll be holding court at the Blu Bar at the new Marriott in Downtown Louisville this Thursday starting around 7:30. If nobody shows up by 9, we'll bag.
