Mary Schunemann (Felton)

Good job with the photos Cathy! Your Friesian is really gorgeous! Don't stress about the study abroad thing, it will be the best time of her life (so far). My son attended the University of Valencia in Spain during the 2007/2008 academic year. I cried my EYES OUT at the airport...just seeing him go through the security line with his backpack...not all that different from the day we dropped him off for his first day at pre-school!
(We couldn't live without him for 8 months so we went to visit at Christmas break.) It's really wonderful she's doing it but there is a real "mourning period" you need to acknowledge in the beginning because it is a loss. Thank God just a temporary one! Congrats!

Bummed out as I found out today that Maura will remain in the hospital through this weekend as she needs to be on IV antibiotics for the psuedomonas in her sputum/lungs. I have asked her father to come be with her Sat. night and he can't which angers me to no end but I feel strongly that one of us needs to be with her while she is in the hospital. So it looks like I will not make it to any of the reunion activities!! I will look for post-reunion pictures though! Hope that this sight keeps going for sure!

She is doing better and eating more each day. She just got some chest PT and was actually smiling when they were doing it! Hmmm someone beating on my chest doesn't sound like fun but apparently it feels pretty good!!

Laura it was great talking with you today!

Glenn thanks for the text messages and you are right they can't handle the two of us together anyway!

Carol thank you for the daily text messages too!

Barb you can use my ticket if you crash!!

Melissa if you and Tim want to come down here to meet her would love to see you!!

Any of you are welcome to come and visit but I realize driving to Boston isn't a picnic!! Thanks for the calls and text messages though they keep me going! I have a homemade apple pie here I could use some help eating that my friend brought to me today! Actually it was my friend Stephen some of you met at "PJ's". He brought my dog, Molly down for me to see and took me out for lunch. Thank God for good friends during times like this just to break up the day.

Hi all...

Only three more days. It's wonderful that everyone is so excited!

I spoke with Barb last night. As I had already guessed, she sounds exactly the same...hysterical and a joy to talk to!

Mary: I loved the way you said, "It's really wonderful she's doing it but there is a real "mourning period" you need to acknowledge in the beginning because it is a loss." So true....great advice! (This forum is GREAT free counseling and support, isn't it?!)

Pam: Speaking of emotions...your frustration is understandable. Being with Maura on Saturday night is a much bigger gift than being at the reunion (although we are proving to still be fun, aren't we?) You will certainly be there in spirit and we'll be thinking of you!

Donna Knowles (Leduc)

Are we planning on having a Pam blowup doll to go with the Glenn doll?....just asking....lol

Barbara Egan

Pam...I'm happy that Maura is doing better. Keep your spirits up and soon she will be home. I think I speak for everyone when I say that our prayers are with you and her at all times. As far as your ticket to the reunion goes...noone can replace you. You will be truly missed. I certainly will take photos if I can actually get there. And if you force me I will have a drink in your honor (and Maura's).

Carol, it was great chatting with you. I promise to keep my secret about you regarding the last reunion (hehehe)! Seriously, there is nothing to tell (seriously, someone come find me). You are a doll Carol.

Carol Erlman (Phillips)

Barb,

You are SO baaaaaaaaad! (You made me laugh...you haven't changed a bit. I love it!)

And....none of us want to hear about "if" you make it to the reunion. You WILL be there! :)

Laura Kohut (Douglass)

Pam, it was great chatting yesterday. Isn't it funny how you can go for so long without speaking to an old friend but the minute you get on the phone, it's as if no time has passed! You will be missed but thanks to modern technology we will be texting and sending photos all night, so don't plan on getting any sleep.

Donna, you clever girl: yes, we should have a "Pam" there along side Glenn. Looks like I need to go shopping!

Cathy L - My daughter would love to go to London for school! It must be so scary and yet you must be so proud.

Diane - sorry for leaving you, Kenny, Sue and Rick off the list. I knew I was missing folks!

TO THE FOOTBALL BUNCH:

Because people are so conflicted over where to go post-game, the pre-game meeting place is back to MMHS at 6 pm and I guess the debate over where to go later will then commence. Partying by committee! Definitely a first for me, but hey, I'll try anything once!

Hopefully I'll see y'all there!

Janine Legere (Cowell)

Hi Laura,

For your count on Friday night, I'm a tentative count me in! I'd love to catch up with you guys before Saturday night. Not sure if my husband will join me or not. I'll shoot to meet up with the carpooling group to follow you all down. I'll even be a driver if needed.

Can't wait!

Janine

I'll be needing a ride from my mom's house in Manchester....she lives on So. Porter...

10/07/09 05:54 PM #1254    

Laura Kohut (Douglass)

So glad to see more names! Janine, glad to see you are coming and thanks for extending a ride to Donna. I know she would love to come. I'm getting so psyched!

We are up to 26 people for the Apollo pre-runion dinner! Come hungry, thirsty and curious.

Melissa Turner

Cathy, Congrats on your daughter! What an amazing opportunity. I understand your concerns. In our home, we spell mother two ways: F-E-A-R and G-U-I-L-T-Y. I get it.

Janine, Wahoo! So glad you’ll be at the Apollo. Thank you for bringing Donna. I was afraid I was going to have to tie someone to the roof of our car.

Pam, We’ll be seeing your Friday. I’ll contact you when we leave Manchester (so you’ll know to look for us). We will be the confused ones.

See the rest of you Friday or Saturday night!

Anne O'Shaughnessy (Suosso)

Anne O'Shaughnessy (Suosso)

I heard from Marie Chartier and Chuck LaBonte. They said they can make it Saturday night. That is great. Richard Fisk is also attending. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Anne O'Shaughnessy (Suosso)

This is a record 120 Classmates have paid. Add 2 with Marie and Chuck.
WOW!!!!!!!! I am so excited for this Saturday. Everyone come to PARTY!!!!!!

Charlotte Hybsch (Crockett)

Hey guys it's Pam and Charlotte was here visiting Maura and I today and I hooked her up to this. She was actually quite into it and I told her she should take my ticket and go Sat. night. She needs some strong nudges and maybe some phone calls so she can hook up with someone to go to it! Her number is 566-2785 or 668-6699!!
I know she perked up when I mentioned you were going Ev so give her a call. I hate to see $50.00 spent for nothing and I think she will enjoy it more than she thinks! Janine I know you were good friends back in high school so maybe you will have some pull too!!

Maura is eating better but still oxygen dependent and needs to wean off of her sedation medications. Please pray I am home next week at this time as this is getting old but I am where I need to be!! She is my daughter though as she was wide awake and partying last night until 4:30AM!! Then she slept most of the day away and is now wide awake again!! I am going to be toast if she keeps me up again all night tonight!!! Must say parenting is the toughest job I have ever done!!

Keep the phone calls and text messages coming!! I knew I would somehow end up being a "blow-up doll" too!! I am defenseless but truly hope Laura is right with sending me text messages and photos so I can have some fun this weekend!!

Melissa looking forward to seeing you and meeting Tim on Fri. and who ever else you may have with you!

10/07/09 11:14 PM #1260    

Janine Legere (Cowell)

Hey Melissa, I've gone all the way back to page 35 and can't locate where and when we are meeting up in Manchester Friday night to head to Laura's. I know I saw a time and hotel near the airport but darned if I can find it. I'll plan on being a driver and can take at least 3 maybe 4 depending on my husband. Would love to stop in a Laura's first if that is the plan.

Donna - do you need me to pick you up on Porter Street or will you meet up with us at the hotel meeting place. We'll have to work this out tomorrow.

Either/both of you or anyone else for that matter, give me a call, cell: 759-9939, h: 547-2052.

Pam - I'm just now catching up on you and your daughter's status, sounds like things are definitely improving. I'd be a wreck if this were my little girl, sounds like you are doing very well handling it all. If you hear from Charlotte, let her know I'll be at the reunion and would love to see her. A little nudge maybe...

It's going to be a great weekend!

10/07/09 11:19 PM #1261    

Evelyn Gratton (Pepin)

Cha-Cha!!!

Charlotte Hybsch! Where have you been hiding?!? We've caught a glimpse of you here, so you've gotta come to the reunion now! Pam's twisting one arm already, don't make me twist the other! I sent you a message through this site and I await your response... ahem... right here... :::tick,tick,tick::: waiting...

Okay, so I'm going to bed now, but I'm checking my messages first thing in the morning!!

;-)
Missed you, friend. Hope to hear from you soon!

Evelyn

10/07/09 11:21 PM #1262    

Evelyn Gratton (Pepin)

[Oh, and thanks, Pam, for dragging Charlotte into the room! We all know she won't regret it!!]

10/07/09 11:25 PM #1263    

Charlotte Hybsch (Crockett)

Okay, so Pam talked me into doing this and I do not regret it! I was hoping she would be able to go since she is the only person I have been in contact with for the last 30 years! Boy, have we been through some interesting times, as, I am sure, everyone has. I will give it some serious thought, I promise!

10/07/09 11:27 PM #1264    

Janine Legere (Cowell)

Another nudge to Charlotte from me. You really do have to come now. I'd love to see you! I just might have to call one of the numbers I picked up earlier from Pam and really nudge a bit harder if we don't hear something positive from you real soon! I'll just plan on seeing you Saturday, yay!

10/07/09 11:30 PM #1265    

Charlotte Hybsch (Crockett)

Don't you people ever sleep!

10/07/09 11:36 PM #1266    

Janine Legere (Cowell)

And don't we all have to get up for work in the morning, I think I'd better shut down and get that sleep...

See you Saturday!
